The most important measure originating with the present Board of Aldermen was In troduced last evening at the meeting of Council, and was unanimously passed. This waa a report from the Commissioners of W a ter Works la regard to the present supply of water. The committee state that, having given the water supply very careful consid eratlcn, they find it entirely inadequate to the demand. The committee further say that the present works, having been erected in ISM, are Insufficient to supply the presen' demand, so that consumers in many por tions of the city obtain but a scanty supply of water, and in some instances they can not get any water in the third stories of their houses. A bouutiful supply of water for health as well as protection against fire is an absolute necessity. The increased and constantly in creasing demand for water requires prompt action on your part. We find, flret, that the reservoir is not of euffiolent height or capacity. Second, that the pumping facili ties are not sufficient. Third, that the mains are too small. To overcome these difficulties we would recommend: First. The erection of another reservoir or stand pipe to be used in connection with the present one. Second. The purchase of a uew pump ing engine of sufficient capacity. Third. The increase of the sire of the mains. In view of the importance of the matter we would recommend that these additions and improvements be made without delay, and that a special tax be levied in the levy ot taxes for the year 1532, on real estate, to pay the expenses in such manner as the Finance Committee mty in their judgment determine. A Convenient and Desirable Insti tution. It will be observed by reference to our advertisement columns that Mr. Frank M. Readick has opened, at No. 6 Bull street, a general intelligence and collecting agency, the purposes of which are fully explained In the announcement. Such an Institution is needed in Savannah, has proven very popular and successful in other cities, and will be a source of convenience and benefit to our citixens generally. Mr. Readick is a ' worthy young man, energetic and capable, and we are assured will faithfully and satis factorily look after the interests of all who entrust their business with him. He guarantees prompt returns and reasonable terms, and we commend him and his agency to the favorable consideration and patronage of the public. Read the an nouncement. A Delightful Thunderstorm. Yesterday afternoon, about five o’clock, a lively gale from the southwest swept over the city. The dust was sent whirling In every direction, trees were shorn of 'heir limbs, and the skies were overcast with dark, threatening clouds. Parties who were on the street \sere not slow to secure some place of Shelter from the blinding dust, and there was s general skedaddling. In about ten minutes after the windstorm the clouds opened their gates and the rain fell in tor rents, accompanied with thunder and light ning. The temperature was greatly lowered and the evening was delightfully cool and refreshing. The rain continued for some time and waa most welcome. Spirits Turpentine. Bpirite turpentine is exhibiting a great deal of activity just cow, and the price is rapidly advancing. Regulars were quoted at 34 cents on Saturday last, and on last evening they had advanced to 36}£ cents, and It was rumored that some private sales had taken place at higher figures. The stock is very light, and it Is In demand, and some buyers endeavor to make arrival purchases. Some parties predict that it will bring 40 cents within the next few days. The stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared last evening was 3,560 casks. Young Mchluhau Found. The young man, Peter McGlashan, em ployed In the foundry of Messrs. Mc- Donough <k Ballantyce, concerning whose mysterious disappearance much has been said, was traced by his father to Blackshear, Pierce county, and was brought back to the city. He is'now under the care of bis family, and has little to say regarding his strange conduct. Painful Accident. About four o’clock yesterday afternoon a young white man named Sim Hall, while handling some lumber on West Broad street, met with quite a painful accident. A large stick fell on one of bis hands, mashing the second finger very badly and bruising his hand. Hurrah lor Central !

The British brig Maggie was cleared yes terdav for Oporto, Portugal, with a cargo of 205,062 feet of lumber, valued at $3,280, by Messrs. D. C. Bacon & Cos. The first practical move in regard to car rying out a greatly needed public measure —the fpavlng ot Broughton street—was made in Council last evening.

It will be seen by our telegram tbat.the gale caused a sudden termination to the race, one of the boats capsizing and the other two having to be towed back. The German bark T. C. Berg was on yes ferday’cleared for Denia and Carthagena by Mrssrs. Gaudry & Walker.

She also trans ferred* some passengers to the steamer Sara gossa, bound for Baltimore. A Handsome Dining Car for the Charleston and Savannah Rail way. Mention was made in our telegraphic columns yesterday of the arrival at Charles ton of the elegant new dining room or res taurant car, from the work shops of Messrs. Jackson & Sharp, Wilmington, Delaware, where It was recently completed for the Charleston and Savannah Railway. Another has been ordered exactly like It, and will be placed on the Savannab, Florida and Western Railway, to be run between this city and Jacksonville. The car Is a model of beauty and com fort and is built precisely on the same plan as the palace dininj cars on the Western railroads. It is divided into two compart ments. One of these, which takes up about one-thtrd of the length of the car. Is fitted up as a kitchen and pantry, containing a range, wash sinks, water pumps and every modern appliance for cooking and serving meals in the best possible style. On one side of this apartment is a passageway opening on the platform through which en trance ami exit to and from the car is made. The remainder of the space In the car Is used as the diningroom, containing eight cables capable of accommodating four persons each. The tables, which are mova ble, are made of handsome woods, and tbe table service Is entirely of silver, including goblets and trays. " The seats are verv bandsomely upholstered in red plush and are reversible. The exterior of the car is painted gold and brown and contains In many colored letters the Inscrip tion: “Charleston, Savannah and Florida Express Dining Car.” The one on the Charleston and Savannab Rtilway line was inaugurated, as has been reported by telegraph, by a pleasant excur sion to Yemaeee, concerning which the Xerg and Courier says: “The excursionists consisted of Mr. H. B. Pianf, President of the Southern Express Company, of the Charleston and Savannah Railway Company and of the Savannab, Florida and Western Railway: Mr. M. J. 0 Brien, General Superintendent of the Southern Express Company; Col. H. S. Haines, General Manager of tbe Savannab, Florida and Western Railway; Mr. C. 8. Gadsden, General Superintendent of the Charleston and Savannah Railway; Col. 8. B. Pickens, President of the Enterprise Railroad Company; Collector Baldwin, Msj. Brawlev, Mr. O. M. Sadler. Mr. E. W. Mar shall, Mr. A. S. Brown, Mr. E. H. Jackson, and other prominent citizens and merchants. Major Watson, tbe skillful and experienced chief of tbe Charleston Hotel, had charge of tbe cuisine, which was managed, it is needless to say, in the most admirable and satisfactory manner. The party sat down to a dinner soon after leaving Charleston and did full justice to the tempting viands cooked and served in the train. After which prospects of the road were discussed over sundry goblets of foaming champagne. Tbe excursionists returned to the city about half past nine o'clock after one of the most pleasant trips of the season.” The Youth** Historical Society—A New Feature. The Youths’ Historical Society have, after due consideration, entered upon anew and attractive feature, which, when carried into effect and its benefits become fully realized, will no doubt meet with the earnest co operation of our citizens. It is the intention of the association to present to the public on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month au enter tainment consisting of literary and musical exercises, attractive and pleasing in every character, and to extend a cordial invitation to those interested In such affairs to attend. This excellent offer, so liberally extended to our community, gives all an opportunity of passing many agreeable and pleasant evenings in an instructive manner during tbe present summer, and we have no hesita tion In predicting its popularity. This evening the feature will be inaugu rated, and on this occasion an excellent pro gramme will be presented. The exercises will consist of declamations, recitations and readings, in which the talent of the society will participate. Tne musical portion will be equally attractive, and adds much to the entertainment. We would advise ail to avail themselves of this invitation and by their presence show the Youths that their efforts are appreciated. The entertainment will be given at their hall in Masonic Tem ple, and commences at 8:30 o’clock. 1 be Gnards Excursion. The Guards had their annual excursion to Tybee yesterday afternoon. The steamer Plant left her wharf shortly after 2 o’clock, with a very large party, and enjoyed the run down greatly, the Guards brass and string band being on board and furniahlng music for the lqvers of the dance. On reaching Tybee they were quickly trans ported to the Ocean House, over the tram way, the clever Superintendent, Mr. James K. Munnerlyn. having a full train of cars on tbe wharf awaiting them. The surf bathing was delightful, and the weather be ing chinning, strolls along tbe beach and dancing In the pavilion were alike popular. Noth withstanding tbe threatening appear ance of the weather, and the fact that rain was falling at the time, the six o’clock steamer carried down a large number of ladies and gentlemen to join those already gathered at the Island. About eight o’clock the clouds cleared away, the stars made their appearance, and by nine o’clock the moon was shining brightly and beauti fully. So after all the Guards had their moonllght trip up the river on their return home. A General Reduction. Mr. H. C. Houston, the well known fash ionable milliner, No. 141 Congress street, has determined upon a general reduction in the prices of his elegant goods, in fact a regular clearing out sale, and our fair read ers who are in need of anything in this line should call and see for themselves. Mr. Houston hss a magnificent stock of articles in this branch, and bargains may surely be anticipated. His assortment of laces, neck ties, gloves, hosiery, ribbons and novelties, embraces something that will please every fancy. Je6-tf The “sine qua non” of Cigarette Smoking reached.

Interesting Account of the Exer cises. The rec eption of the American Kinder garten, which closed the Instructions of the school, at the chapel bu tiding on Draytdh street, was very well attended by the pa rents and friends of the children. Only brief mention has been made of the exer cises, and in compliance with the request of many we give a fuller account of the proceedings, which were quite interest ing. The exercises were opened with tbe chant, “Our Father Who Art in Heaven,” fol lowed by recitations on “Colors,” “Gems,” “Virtue*” and calisthenics. A recitation in concert, “Over the Meadows,” was then given, after which the salutatory was de livered in capital style by Alice Bates. Then followed recitations by -Joeie Lovell, “Our Cat and her Kittens,” Willie EcksteiD, “He Didn’t Think,” and David Myerson, “Elephant on a Journey.” The exercise in practical arithmetic was capital, and tbe recitation by Nellie Ehrlich, “Whoiaa Darling Little Girl,” was very good. The Child’s Idea of Snow, “Falling Feathers,” a pretty song, was effectively rendered by Carrie and Courtland Dixon. Hannah Myereon’s recitation, “Con stancy,” was very well given. “The Months of the Year” were presented by twelve children in character, and was a very pleasing feature of the exhibition. Petite Alice Connerat told in a charming manner “The Story of the Morning Glory,” and Carrie Dixon pleasantly conveyed “A Child’s Advice to Mamma.” The great feature of the exhibition, how ever, was tbe presentation of tbe extrava ganza “Sleeping Beauty,” the characters of which were well personated both In costume and expression, were as follows: Hannah Myerson, “Queen Mother;” Geo. Freeman, “King;” Carrie Dixon, “sleep ing Beauty or Princess;” Courtland Dixon, “Prince;” Grantham Taggart, “Bardl, the Jester;” Joaie Lovell, “King’s Page;” D. Myerson, W. Eckstein, “Body Guard;” Jo sephine Jones, “Queen of Fairies;” Louis McNulty, “Cupid, her attendant:” Mary Jones, Marie Habersham, Alice Bates, Nel lie Ehrlich, Alice Connerat, Masie Ferst, “Fairies;” Sallie Wilbur, “Sera, revenge ful fairy.” The grouping of the characters in their exquisite costumes at tbe close formed a most beautiful tableau. Prize medals were then distributed for deserved merit In different departments, Miss Hannah Myerson and Miss Josephine Jones receiving the two highest medals for general excellence. The concluding solo, “LaughiDg Eyes of Blue,” was most exquisitely rendered by Mies Marie Habersham as a fairy. The valedictory was also gracefully ren dered by Louis McNulty, as “Cupid.” This was followed by the feast, which the chil dren enjoyed with their little friends. Where all did well it is hard to discrimi nate, but It is due to award the meed of praise to the “Queen Mother” and the “Queen of Fairies” for their grace, dignity and self-possession in the different parts assigned them. To the sweet solo elngers and to tbe fair one who so clearly gave the salutatory, and we would not omit “That Smallest Boy In School,” who gave the valedictory as “Little Cupid.” It has been said that the system of in struction known as the American Kinder garten, is not tbe genuine German system. It can only be answered that it has never made such pretensions. Toe American system claims to embody ail the attractive forms of beauty and form 6 of knowledge,with their instructive lessons, so exquisitely trrauged by Froebel, and to interweave with them the alphabet of language. It thus leads our American children, whose progressive instincts call for books and slates for practice with theory, up the steps of knowledge by easy and by flowery paths. Urged on by parental ambition, which in our country brooks no delay, they grapple Intelligently with strong thoughts, the out growth of those very simple teachings of ear lier years, and perform more earnest duties than the occupations which pleased their childish fancy, and the exercises which gave development and recreation to their little bodies. It is a happy thought that the introduc tion of this system in Savannah opened the door for the establishing of other Kindergartens, essentially German, and that the successful efforts of tneir worthy Instructors tesiify to tin appre ciation of Kindergarten tr&oiDe by the enlightened and intellectual of our commu nity. Let us hope that the day is near when our lovely park and squares shall be en livened by peaceful children, happily en gaged In the games and songs of the Kin dergarten, as in “der Faderland,” instead of the too frequent wails of little ones, the scoldings and tyranny of cross and ignorant nurses, and the belligerent juveniles who give blow for blow. To this end may all such efforts ba suc cessful. We stand on the threshold of new and progressive features in the education of children, and it may not be well for anyone to affirm that this or that is the only way. Each step forward does not ditplace the last taken, but develops Its purpose and in tent, like tbe royal rose, unfolding leaf by leaf, at last bursts out in perfumed beauty the queen of flowers. So there Is.a divinity of purpose in every thing that tends to surround young lives and enchain their minds with thoughts of beauty and loving jurpesa of heart that, may defy the Insidious corruptions of the age. Every or any system that has this for its aim and object, and that tends to bring children early and tenderly into the knowl edge o( Him who created them and the great world around them with its wondrous secrets by prescribed or original methods, is essentially and practically “Kindergarten ” It is the mother’s deputy, the father’6 senti nel, the sister’s love, the brother’s defense, aiding the child traveler in his journey through the labyrinths of learning. It is by the grace of God the blessing of this sge, but, without His blessing, fruitless aud barren of success, for “Doth not H i hand rule ail things, And intend the least of our concerns. Since from the least the greatest oft origi nates.” Sneak Thieve* Caught. Last evening about seven o’clock three worthless negro sneak thieves made a raid upon the store of Messrs. Walsh <fc Farrell, on Broughton street, near Jefferson, and captured a number of shoes, which they concealed In their shirts or blouses. Mr. Walsh was sitting in the front of his store, which extends back to the lane, the rear doors being open. The colored boy em ployed in the store was about tbe premises, and while engaged three negroes en tered from the laDe, seized some shoes from an open box, stuffed them in their shirts, and were about de parting when they were seen by the porter, who called out to Mr. Farrell that “some nigger was stealing shoes.” Mr. Farrell glaDced around and observed tbe negroes retreating. He immediately has tened around the corner for the purpose of intercepting the thieves. They saw him aDd fled precipitately, but he followed, and at the corner of West Broad and Bryan streets captured one of the negroes, whom he shortly after turned over to Policeman Bmith to be carried to the barracks. Tbe negro denied having taken the shoes, and claimed that those on his person had been dropped by the other negroes, and he had picked them up. He endeavored to effect his release by informing on his confed erates, but to no purpose. A constable is now on the track of the others, and the prospects are that they will be captured. Affixing the Boondarles of the Militia District*. A meetin g of the Board of County Com missioners, members of the Legislature and a number of prominent citizens was held yesterday morning at the office of the Ordi nary to affix and decide the limits of the several militia districts of the city, which at present are not fully deliued, the same to be incorporated in a bill to be pre sented at the ensuing session of the General Assembly. After an ex amination of the map and consultation, the following decision was arrived at, and the boundaries of tbe different districts are now distinctly defined : The First, Second, Third and Fourth militia districts are In the city proper. The Fifth district comprises that section east of tbe Savannah, Skidaway and Sea board Railroad. Tbe Sixth district will comprise all that section between tbe Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad and tbe Savannah, Florida, and Western Railway Company’s land. The Seventh district all that section be tween the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company and the Savannah and Ogeechee canal. The Eighth district, between the canal and the Ogeechee river.

Hoyt, Chair man of the Board of Commissioners of Fulton county, was received, asking in formation in reference to tbe cost of feeding prisoners and county expenses, which Com missioner Paine stated he had answered at length. Commissioners Lawton and Casey, to whom was referred the proposition of Dr. W. G. Bulloch in reference to the feed of a horse to make visits to the convict camps, etc., reported they had made economical arrangements with Mr. Carson, which here tofore had been very satisfactory, and they saw no necessity for a change. Report adopted. Henry Bleber appeared before the Com missioners, and was sworn in as Justice of the Peace of the Seventh district, and duly commissioned. The following report was submitted by Commissioners Paine and Walker: In the matter of the communication of J. J. McGowan, Esq., Tax Collector, in regard to the default tax returns of Messrs. Bald win & Cos., in the digest of 1880, and which communication covers the correspondence between Mr. B. E Bee, late Tax Receiver, and Messrs. Baldwin & Cos. and the Comp troller General In relation to said default, we, your committee, to whom the same was referred, have the honor to report that., after a careful examination of all tbe facts, as we gather them from tha papers before us, we think that Messrs. Baldwin & Cos. and the Tax Receiver have not acted strictly within the pale of the law, and lu making this declare tion we do not intend to reflect on any of the gentlemen, and believing that the bet ter coume to pursue iu this matter will be for the Sheriff to return tbe ft. fa. to the Tax Collector, with an entry on the same nulla bona, and that Mest-rs. Baldwin & Cos. be allowed to make their return under oatb, de now, and at once pay the tax which will be due under the last return, and that Messrs. Baldwin & Cos. pay the Sheriff for his entry on fi. fa. On motion, it waa ordered that Sarah Bul loch be continued on tbe beneficiary list at three dollars per month until further orders. The applications of Mrs. Bulskin, Mary Thompson and Ishatn Lee for relief were referred to Commissioner Walker. Certain liquor dealers were reported as doing business without license, and on motion it was ordered that the names be placed before the grand jury. The matter of Katy Robinson, colored, on the beneficiary list of Rev. Alexander Harris, was referred to Commissioner Meyer with power to act. A petition was received from T. H. Wil liams, attorney for R. A J. Lachlison, for relief from excessive tax. On motion or dered that the tax paid by R. &J. Lachli son be refunded as asked for. A communication from Wm. Hall, Deputy Sheriff, enclosing a bill of charges to tbe amount of $6 25, for bringing prisoners to the court house, was referred to the Chair man on the 11th May. The following report was submitted and adopted: “In the matter of a small bill of costs charged by Wm. Hall, Deputy Sheriff, against the county of Chatham, I have the honor to report that I have examined the Code and I cannot find any law authorizing the payment by the county of the Items charged in said bill of costs! “The law directs tbe Coroner to select any constable to execute his precepts, but does not give him the right, in my opinion, of commanding the Bherlff and nis deputies, anu the reason is apparent. The Sheriff’s office is superior to that of the Coroner, ex cept when the law specially clothes the Coroner with superior power, which it does not in ordinary cases. “Tbe charges} in the bill are for bringing five prisoners from Chatham county jail to the Coroner’s inquest, the said prisoners being witnesses. In the fee bill, as pub lished in the Code, a Sheriff is entitled to one dollar and twenty-five cents forcon ductlng a prisoner before a Judge or court to and from jail, but It cannot be charged against the county unless as Insolvent costs, and by the special law for Chatham county the Bheriff is paid the sum of six hundred dollars and no more per anuum on his bills of insolvent costs (see Acts of 1876, patre 106). Such beinj? the law, the Sheriff nor his deputies cannot make this charge, as set forth in the bill referred to me, unless It Is Included In the S6OO as mentioned above. This Is & very small matter, and could the bill be paid out of the county Treasury legally I would with pleasure recommend its pay ment. The only cost allowed by the law for bolding an inquest is $lO for the inquest, sls for burial expenses aud $1 to the con stable.” The jail account for the month of May, for $306 50, was referred to the Jail Com mittee. ACCOUNTS PASSED. The total amount of bills passsd to pay ment was $1,256 11, as follows : B. F. Sheftall, Coroner 8 125 00 Haslam & Hawkins 4 06 John Lyons 7 L 0 Morning News 22 00 W. C.
