Death of a Venerable Mavannabian.
In our telegraphic columns yesterday ap
peared a brief dispatch from Mobile, Ala.,
announcing the death of Hon. John A.
Cuthbert, at the advanced age of ninety five
years. Judge Cuthbert was born near Sa
vannah In 1786, and died at hl6 residence on
Mon Louis Island, on Thursday, the 23d.
He was the first Captain of the R*publican
Blues, of this city, which was organized In
1808 mainly through his efforts, and com
manded that corps for a number of years.
He was a lawyer by profession, and in
1819 was elected member of Congress
from Georgia, and served for two
Years. In 1840 he removed to Mobile,
Alabama, and In 1842 was elected Judge of
the County Court of Mobile, and Juige of
the Circuit Court of the Sixth Circuit of
Alabama In 1852, which position he held for a
number of years. At the time of bis dea*h
he was the oldest ex member of Congress In
the United States. Sixteen years ago, when
the writer first met Judge Cuthbert, who
was then almost an octogenarian, he was In
the full possession of his faculties, and
was a genial, sociable gentleman, manifest
ing the liveliest Interest in public aff Urs.
He was a connecting link between a his
toric present and a historic past, having
been born in the year that witnessed the
framing of the Constitution, and having died
In the year of the assassination
for the second time,of the Chief Magistrate
of the country. As he removed from Sa
vannah nearly half a century ago, but few
of our present citizens will remember him
save by reputation. He was buried on
Saturday morning last in the tamlly burying
ground on Mon Louis Island.
Tbe Steamer Carrie.
The steamer Carrie, which has been on
Jones’ ways for some time undergoing re
pairs, it is expected will be ready for busi
ness in about two weeks, when she will be
put on the lice between Savannah and Au
gusta. It is thought that she will be launch
ed on Wednesday and further repairs will
be completed while she is in the water.
New plates have been placed on her bottom
and the wood work is nearly all entirely
new and much lighter than the wood previ
ously used. Her cabin Is spacious and the
passenger accommodations will be first class.
The engines of the late steamer W. T. Whe
less have been pLced in her, and, as they
are nearly new, It Is expected that her
speed will be greatly Increased. Owing to
the lightness of the material used In re
building her, she will only draw two feet of
water Instead of three, as formerly, and this
will prove a decided advantage in navigat
ing this river when the water is low.
Arreated on a Serious Charge.
Yesterday morning Lieutenant Sbeftall
arrested Henry Bube.who keeps a store cor
ner of Fahm and Joachim streets, on the
charge of aidiDg and abetting a dis
turbance and attempting to incite riot and
murder. The offense is alleged to have
been committed on tbe 21st Inst. The case
is a serious one, if the facts as stated are
found to be correct. The accused will be
brought before- the Mayor In the Police
Court this morning, when an Investigation
will be had.
General Suspension of Business.
There was a very general suspension of
business yesterday as a tribute of respect to
the memory of the late President. Many
stores were not opened at all, and by twelve
o’clock there was an almost universal closing
up of stores and offices, and the streets pre
sented the aspect of Sunday. Tbe churches
were all well attended, and every respect
appropriate to the sad occasion was mani
fested.
A New Departure.
A glance through the warerooms of E.
A. Schwarz, 125 and 127 Broughton street,
will satisfy any one that they can get any
thing they need there, both in the furniture
line or carpets.
The new style of paper hanging, which he
has introduced into the city, is certainly
something elegant. Several of our citizens
are having their residences papered through
out. _
Bad for George.
About half past eight o’clock last night
Policeman Jones was called upon to arrest
a colored individual who is meandering
around ander the historic name of George
Washington on the charge of cursing and
abusing a colored female, Anna Gaskins, In
her house. George will find It difficult this
morning to give an explanation of his un
gallant eonduct, and his prospects are bad.
Dredging In tbe River.
Tbe work of dredging in the channel near
the Red Light is progressing very sstisfac
torlly. Every day small portions of the
vessels (sunk during the late war) are dug
up and removed. The work Is an Impor
tant one, and should be continued until ev
ery vestige of these wrecks are removed.
On tbe Rampage.
About quarter past two o’clock yesterday
afternoon Wm. Frazer, colored, was arrest
ed by Policeman Fshrenback for disorderly
conduct, cursing and using obscene lan
guage on the street. After being arrested.
Frazer was very threatening and abusive to
the officer and resisted arrest, but was
finally jugged.
Chatham Artillery.
This veteran organization had out one of
their guns at the head of the bluff, on Bay
street, yesterday, under charge of a detach
ment, and fired a salute every half hour
from sunrise to sunset in respect to the
memory of the deceased President.

GARFIELD MEMORIAL SER
VICES.
Large Attendance at tbe Churches.
Trinity Methodist Church was yesterday
morning filled to its utmost capacity, there
being a union service, occasioned by the
great calamity which has befallen the coun
try in the death of President James A. Gar
field. The congregations of all the denomi
nations in the city were>epresented, with
the exception of the Eplecopal and Catho
lic, services being held in those churches.
The excellent choir, under the leadership
of Mr. C. P. Miller, selected as a voluntary,
“Tnough He Slay Me,” by Bliss, and ren
dered it in a solemn and most beautiful
manner, the soprano solo of Mrs. Lyon be
ing particularly fine. All the different parts
were well sustained, and the choir, as a
whole, contributed greatly to the grandeur
and solemnity of the occasion.
The order of service was as follows:
Voluntary—By chotr of Trinity Church.
Hymn—“ Our God our Helpln Ages Past.”
Prayer—By Rev. G. G. N. MacDonell.
Hymn—“ Rock of Ages Cleft for Me.”
The sermon was preached by Rev. R. P.
Kerr, of the Independent Presbyterian
Church, who selected as his text the fifth
chapter of Genesis, twenty fourth verse—
“And he was not, for God took him” —and
from it delivered a most beautiful and elo
quent discourse, In which touching refer
ence was made to the great public misfor
tune, which was portrayed as the work of
Providence for some wise purpose, that
we could not now understand.
After the sermon, the hymn, “How Blest
the Righteous when he Dies” was sung.
Praver was offered by Rev. Mr. Thompson,
of New Houston Btreet Church, and dox
ology—“ Praise God. from whom all Bless
ings flow”—was sung, the entire congrega
tion joining In. The benediction was pro
nounced by Rev. Mr. Branch, pastor, and
the congregation dismissed.
At Bt. John’s Church the services were
also very impressive, and the sacred edifice
was filled. The music was of the highest
order and rendered in excellent style. Rev.
Thomas Boone, rector of Christ Church,
delivered an address appropriate to the
solemn occasion, which was replete with
beautiful thoughts.
At the Cathedra], at 7 o’clock mass, a high
requiem for the dead was sung.

Creatine a Riot and Threatening to
Shoot.
Yesterday morning about 11 o’clock
Bradley Langs, a colored drayman in the
employ of Mr. Walsh, wanted to join the
demonstrations of the day, and refused to
go to work unless he got a heavy increase.
This was not granted, and a col
ored man by tbe name of Jake Haz
zard, who had been here a short time,
was found, who consented to drive the
dray, and started oat. Langs heard ot it,
hastened to the place, threatened to kill
Jake If be dared to drive his dray, and
drew his pistol, which he flourished
around ferociously. A large crowd
was soon collected, and Jake, becom
ing frightened and unwilling to
run the hazard of having his corpus per
forated, jumped from the dray and skipped
away. Jim Parker, an old drayman, who is
in the employ of Mr. Walsh, and who, it
seems, had also knocked off work, sprang
on the dray and attempted to drive It Into
the yard of the Arkwright Cotton Factory.
This brought on a conflict with
Langs, and a lively fight
occurred, which increased tbe excitement.
Policeman Allen JoDes retched tbe scene
shortly, and after some difficulty captured
both parties and marched them to the bar
racks. It appears that before Jake fled
from his dray, a negro bv the name of Bam
Williams was cursing and growling about
generally, and threatened to dress Jake
down with a dray whip, which he had In his
hand. This intention was frustrated by the
flight of Jake, and soon afterwards Bam
foun i himself in tbe clutches of a police
man, taking a walk to tbe barracks.
The proceedings of these parties will be
fully investigated to day at the Police Court
matinee.

DEMONSTRATION BT THE COL
ORED PEOPLE.
A Military and Civic Procession-
Creditable and Orderlv Observance
of tbe Occasion.
The demonstration made yesterday after
noon by the colored people in honor of the
memory of the deceased President was very
creditable In every respect, and we are grati
fied at being enabled to commend them
apon the excellent order maintained
throughout the procession. There was not
a single disturbance of any kind connected
with the demonstration, notwithstanding
the Immense crowds upon the streets,
and there was not an arrest for
disorderly conduct recorded. We have
always been pleased to award our colored
population due credit when it is deserved,
and on this occasion feel that It Is not say
ing too much when we pronounce the de
monstration yesterday afternoon the most
creditable ever made by them and worthy
of the sad occasion that called It forth.
At 12 o’clock, the various military com
panies and civic societies began to assemble
on Bouth Broad strets, at which rendezvous
had also collected an immense throng of
colored peoplt, men, women and children.
The procession was formed under Lieu
tenant Colonel W. H. Woodhouse, com
manding the military, in tbe following
order:
1. Savannah Hussars, Captain Bell.
2. Georgia Artillery, Captain John C.
Simmons.
3. Chatham Light Infantry, Captain John
Gardner.
4. Lone Star Cadets, Captain P. A. D.
Lloyd.
5. Savannah Light Infantry, Captain W.
H Royall.
6. Colquitt Blues, Lieutenant J. H. Car
ter.
7. Forest City Light Infantry, Lieutenant
W. H. Art son.
8. Union Lincoln Guards, Captain M. J.
Cummings.
9. Union Delmonico Guards, Captain
Henry Williams.
10. Georgia Light Infantry, Captain John
Stiles.
CIVIC SOCIETIES—J. C. BURKE, MARSHAL.
11. Workingmen’s Union Association.
12. Steamship Stowing Association.
13. Draymen’s Associations, 1 and 2.

16. Pride of the Forest City Society.
17. Armenia Debating Society.
18. Sons of St. James.
19. Savannah Independent Association.
20. Farmers’ Association.
At half-past one the procession was com
pleted, and, beaded by the Union Twilight
Band, proceeded down South Broad street
to Lincoln, to Bay, to Drayton, to Bouth
Broad, to St. James Tabernacle,ln Randolph
street, where the exercises were held.
The Savannah Hussars were dismounted,
and the Georgia Artillery paraded without
their guns, which were being used In firing
a salute at tbe Park by a detachment from
the company.
The band played a solemn dirge through
out the march, and the military paraded
with reverse arms. The fltgs were draped
with crape, as also were the staffs of office
of the civic societies.
On reaching the Tabernacle a halt was
called, and quietly and In regular order the
commands were marched into the edifice,
which was soon densely packed.
The exercises were opened by the choir
singing an an’hem, which was followed by
a prayer from Rev. U. L. Houston. A por
tion of the scriptures was read by Rev.
Dana Bherltt and a hymn by Rev. W. L. Tay
lor. The addresses of Rev. W. H. Morris
and Wm. H. Harris were appropriate, and
commanded the close attention of the vast
audience. The exercises closed with prayer
by Rev. G. W. Brown and benediction by
Rev. M. Johnson.
Previous to the assemblage being dismissed
the following resolutions by the commit
tee, John H. Deveaux, W. H. Bell and J. H.
Carter, were adopted :
Whereas, Through the cowardly crime
of a creature bearing the semblance of man,
James A. Garfield, President of the United
States, was shot down on the 2-1 day of
July last, while In the splendor of man
hood’s power, while enjoying the affection
of a loving family and the regard of his
fellow countrymen; and whereas, after a
protracted struggle for life he 6uccumDed
to death on the 19th of September, and
whereas, this, the day of his funeral having
been set aside by the President of the
United States as a day of humiliation and
prayer, therefore
Resolved, That while we bow In sorrowful
submission to the will of God, '* -< find no
language sufficient to express ru: horror
of the wicked and unprovoked c.imethat
has robbed the country of its able and
trusted Christian Ruler and a devoted
family of their guide and protector.
Resolved, That we, the clergy, military,
civil societies and people of Savannah, In
solemn meeting assembled, do offer our
sincere and tender sympathies to the
stricken family of our lamented President,
and direct that a copy of these expressl ons
be forwarded them.
After these exercises the procession re
turned to South Broad street and the parade
was dismissed, the several companies and
societies returning to their respective armo
ries and halls.
Tbe Result of a Game of Card*.
Yesterday afternoon E. Brudder and Peter
Richards, strangers In the cltv, met In a
saloon on Bryan street, and, after taking a
social drink, concluded to try a little game
of poker to pass away the time, and, to
“make the game Interesting,” to put up a
few ducats. Several games were played, and
Richards raked in “the pot” every time to the
Intense disgust of Brudder, who was out
raged at his bad luck. After taking an
other drink the parties concluded
to change base, and meandered down
Bryan street to Jefferson, where
they entered another saloon, and of
course had to lubricate again. Thinking,
perhaps, that luck had changed, the little
game of poker was renewed, but Richards
again raked in the money. Both parties
were by this time In a condition to
quarrel, and hard words were passed.
The saloon keeper ordered them out,
when Brudder commenced abusing him.
Richards, who had his two sons with him,
young men, was indignant with Brudder,
and taking offense at some words of
Brudder, drew a pistol and In
timated he was ready for a circus.
As soon as Richards drew his pistol
his sons levanted, probably not wishing to
be witnesses of the tragedy which seemed
Imminent. A scuffle ensued between Rich
ards and Brudder, which was interrupted
by Policeman T. Jones, who was called In
at the request of the 6aloon keeper and ar
rested both parties, who were carried to the
barracks. The affair will be thoroughly In
vestigated at the Police Court sceance this
morning.
Tbe Situation—Labor Resumed.
Ihe labor troubles, It seems, are about
ended, the discontented realizing the fact
that nothing could be accomplished by an
attempt to provoke dlaorder and disturb
ance In the community, and that their
petition for an advance would receive
greater consideration by being quietly
and properly submitted, and the Issue
patiently awaited. The situation yester
day was entirely serene, aDd there was no
manifestation of any desire to make further
trouble. Quite a number of those who had
engaged In the strike returned to work,
and there is reason to belive that but
for the memorial observances yesterday
there would have been found many more at
honest labor. The work at the Central
Railroad wharves was progressing very sat
isfactorily yesterday, and in a few days the
Inconvenience and delay that has bees oc
casioned will be surmounted and things will
be moving on quietly and smoothly.
Robbed on tbe Road.
Joseph Whitman, who lives some distance
from Savannah on the Louisville road,
states that while he was coming to the city
early yesterday morning he encountered
two men on the road who stopped him to
make an inquiry. Replying to them he con
tinued on hts way, when the fellows sudden*
ly sprang before him, choked him badly and
robbed him of over S3OO In money, a silver
watch and chain and some other articles.
He called upon a magistrate and reported
the case, giving a description of the parties.
A constable Is now on the lookont for them.
In the Country Ail Summer.
The man who takes his family into the
country for the summer should remember
that he will save his children a great deal of
pain and himself large doctors’ bill, If he is
thoughtful enough to carry a supply of
Perry Davis’ Pain Killer. This medicine Is
a standard specific for all cases of cramps,
colic, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, or dysen
tery. A teaspoonful is a dose for an adult,
bat twenty drops are sufficient for a child.
The Pain Killer is sold by every leading
druggist. — Adv.

A FRACAS IN IAM ACRAW.
A Colored Man Desperately Cat in
Seven Place*.
About three o’clock yesterday afternoon
the neighborhood of Fahm and Indian
streets was the scene of Intense ex
citement, which occasioned the gather
ering of a very large crowd of colored
people. A difficulty, from what cause could
not be ascertained at the time, occurred
between Thomas Baker and Aleck Williams,
colored, which resulted In Baker drawing
an uglv looking knife, similar to those used
by shoemakers In trimming leather, and
which bad recently been well sharpened, and
making a fearful onslaught upon Williams.
That unfortunate Individual was, It appears,
overpowered, and cut and carved by Baker
In the most savage manner. A frightful
cut was inflicted over the left eye, oae on the
arm, and five stabs and cats in various parts
of the body, and but for the Interference of
some of the crowd, and the cry of “police,”
It Is not improbable that Williams would
have been chopped Into mince meat. Baker
fled, leaving his victim staggering around
with the blood spurting in streams from his
numerous wounds. The injured man was
conveyed to his home on Joacbim i street
and a physician was sent for. Meanwhile
Policemen Kelly and Malone reached
the scene and at once struck
the trail of the fugitive would-be-slayer.
Baker dashed Into a house near by, ran
through and Into another, and so on half
the block, giving the policemen
a lively hunt, and was finally
treed to a house In Indian
street, in front of which a large crowd
collected. Policeman K*dly went Into
the house, and proceeding to the upper
roam, discovered Baker crouching under a
bed. He brought his little persuader to
bear upon the fellow and coaxed him out,
when he was captured. A colored
man who had followed, then crawled
under tho bed and secured
the knife, which Baker had thrown away.
The blade was covered with blood and was
taken possession of and carried to the bar
racks as a 6ilent witness. Williams’ Inju
ries are considered to be quite serious, and
may result fatally, as he is horribly cut up.
EX>IJNION COLORED SOLDIERS).
Observance of the Day bv the Or
ganisation—Oration.
The members of the Ex Union Colored
Soldiers’ Organization, composed of colored
men who had eerved In the Federal army,
held a meeting at their hall yesterday morn
ing. The proceedings were confined to an
address by Abram Burke, Secretary, on
the ‘’Life and Death of the President,”
which was about as follows:
“In obedience to your request, I will ad
dress you, with the hope of executing a
part of the system of public mourning
which you have been pleased to adopt, com
memorative of the death of the most be
loved personage this country has ever pro
duced, since the late civil war. In the Re
publican party. While with pious resigna
tion we submit to the will of an all-graclous
Providence, we can never cease lamenting,
In our finite view of the Omnipotent’s wis
dom, the heartrending privation for which
our nation weeps. What limit is there to
the extent of our loss? None within the
reach of my words to express, none
which your feelings will not disavow.
Our James Abram Garfield is no
more. Oh! that Hope, the comforter
of the wretched, would pour Into our ago
nizing hearts balmy dewl But alas, there is
no hope for us! our Garfield Is removed
forever. Possessing the stoutest frame and
purest mind, he had passed to his forty-nine
years In the enjoyment of high health, until
cut down by the bullet fired from the pistol
in the hands of tbe notorious Guiteau. A
wound Inflicted which defied every medical
Interposition, and before the morning of
the 20th of September, 1881, put an end to
his life. An end did I say? His fame sur
vives, bounded only by the limits of the
earth, and by the extent of the human
mind, and will be cherished In our hearts and
In the growing knowledge of our children.
“Will you view him on the historic fields of
Chickamauga or in the House of Congress?
He was second to none in the Republican
ranks as possessing a clear and penetrating
mind and sound judgment. The sons and
daughters of America mourn the loss their
country has sustained In the death of Hon.
James A. Garfield, with a unanimity which
no other people In any government ever
exhibited for their chief ruler.
“View the city of Savannah. See how
she is wrapped In mourning in honor to the
fallen hero. I will say, as 1 have always,
that there Is no people under tbe canopy of
heaven that has more sympathy and feeling
for humanity than the white people of Sa
vannah; and If Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, of
Georgia, that venerable counsellor, and
humane and Christian gentleman, whose
wisdom, moderation and Integrity endear
him to the hearts of his people, had died,
thev could not have shown any more sym
pathy than they have shown for our late
President and representative of the Repub
lican party.
“What heart is not charmed with the recol
lection of the pure, wise principles avowed
by him at the commencement of his admin
istration as the basis of his political life.
He best understood the Indissoluble union
between virtue and happiness, between
duty and advantage, between the genuine
maxims of an honest and magnanimous
policy and the solid rewards of public pros
perity, watching with an equal and compre
hensive eye over 'his great nation of the
American people, and closed up every
avenue to strife between the North and the
South.
“Snch is the man America has lost! Such
is the man for,whom our nation mourns! Me
tbinks I see his august image and hear
falling from his eloquent lips, ‘Cease, sons
of America, lamenting our separation. Go
on and confirm your wisdom, union aDd
peace with all parties and nations. Thus
will you give Immortality to that union
which was the constant object of my admin
istration.’
“He Is safe Into the arms of Jesus. May
God unite the entire people as one, and pro
mote harmony and peace between all races.”
After the address of Secretary Burke, B.
Williams, of Company A, Twenty-First
Regiment, sang a hymn, “Abram Garfield’s
body lies a moulding In the clay,” etc.
On motion of J. Anderson, of Company
A, One Hundred and Third Regiment, It
was resolved that the address of Abraham
Burke be banded over to the Morning
News with request to publish It. Also that
a copy of the News be sent to each mem
ber of the late Cab'net.
Od motion of J. Williams, of the Thirty-
Third Regiment, that a vote of thanks be
returned to the Hon. Robert Lincoln, Sec
retary of War, for past favors In grant

on the celebration of their reunion.
The meeting was then adjourned.
DEPRAVITY OF BOVS.
Who la Reaponalblef-A Word to Pa
re lit a and Conaervatora of Law and
Order.
Editor Morning News : Permit me, through
your valuable and widely read columns, to
call attention to an evil, or nuisance, that
demands redress.
Upon ary night In the week, Sunday
nights not excepted, may be noticed groups
of loafing boys between the ages of seven
and seventeen, congregated at street cor
ners, vacant lots, and out of the way and in
the way places, Indulging In a catalogue of
vices, embracing smoking and chewing to
bacco, cursing, swearing, boisterous and
obscene language, etc., to the annoyance
and dlsedlficatloD, If not gross offense, and
Insults of passer by, and residents of the
neighborhood.
These boys, apon Inquiry, will be found
to be children of Christian parents living In
the vicinity, who go, or ought to go, on
Sundays and other times to Christian
churches, where they are taught, or should
be taught, the sacred duty of “bringing up
their children in the way they should go,
that when they grow old they shall not de
part from It,” and where they constantly
hear repeated the beautiful words of the
Saviour, “Suffer little children to come unto
me. and forbid them not, for of such Is the
kingdom of heaven.”
It is not so much my object to expose the
evil as to demand a remedy. Who ehall
apply the remedy? First and properly the
parents, who are pre-eminently the keepers
and guardians of their children, and who
will be held responsible before God and
man for. their conduct In time and eternity.
These parents should at once recall their
children from the streets after dark, and
provide them with amusements of an In
structive and refining character, that would
attach them to home. Among such amuse
ments, music—heavenly music,cannot be too
strongly urged, for “of all the golden gifts
that heaven hath left as portions of its light
upon earth, none hath such influence as
music has.” “For is there a soul that music
cannot melt.”
But as there Is little probability that these
parents will do better for their children In
the future than in the past, who will do It?
I answer the city or State. When parents
fall, or are unable to take proper care of
their children, It becomes the duty of the
city or State to take their place. Hence, we
appeal to the proper city authorities to
Issue a standing order to the police to break
np and disperse these vicious rookeries of
bovs after dark, and If they find any
difficulty in doing so, arrest some of them,
aDd take them to the barracks to make
examples of them, which will have a whole
some effect upon the balance. Compel
them to stop at home at night and become
good boys, and, in time, good citizens of
the republic. A blessing which 1 fer
vently wish them. Reformer.

Action ot the Sovereign Grand Lodge
on the President’* Death—Resume
of Bnalneas.
At the session of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, I. O. O. F., in session at Cincinnati
on Tuesday last, the announcement of Presi
dent Garfield’s death was made, and the fol
lowing named were appointed to draft
suitable resolutions : Henry F. Garey, of
Maryland; Henry C. Hedges, of Ohio; John
W. Stebblns, of New York; Walter G. Dye,
of Minnesota; Wm. W. Morrow, of Califor
nia; Joseph fl. Sloss, of Alabama; L. F.
McKinney, of New Hampshire; J. Ham
Perry, of Ontario; Isaac A. Sheppard, of
Pennsylvania; Tal. P. Sbaffner, of Ken
tucky; Andre Cushing, of Lower Provinces,
B. N. A.
The committee submitted the following,
which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The American people are this
day In mourning over the death of ita lately
inaugurated President, who, In the prime
of a virtuous life, In the full vigor of hls
Intellectual faculties, and when, by virtue
of hla great office, he stood at the summit
of human greatnees, was shot down by an
assassin, and through a long, lingering ago
ny, passed to an untimely grave; and, where
as. this body represents more than five
hundred thousand men associated for fra
ternal and beneficial purposes, and through
them, also, represents an aggregate of more
than two and a half millions of persons of
every age and sex, and of many and diverse
nationalities, It seems eminently proper
that it should at this time give expression
to the profound grief and sorrow which
pervades all the Lodges and homes of Its
vast brotherhood; therefore,
1. Resolved, That this body of representa
tives, for each of their number and for tbe
nationalities they represent, deeply sympa
thize with this free government and Its mil
lions of patriotic citizens In their hour of
trial, and will join with all good men every
where In upholding the supremacy of law
and the sacredness of order, so necessary to
the happiness and prosperity of this and of
all peoples.
2. Resolved, That, as Individuals represent
ing nearly every sect, as members of differ
ing political patriee, and living under dif
fering forms of government, we are, as one
man, as one sect, as one party, as citizens
living under one and the same government
in the feellDgs of indignation and grief
that stir our souls, and In the impulse that
leads us to mourn at the grave of the chief
of this great republic.
3. Resolved, That the Assistant Grand Sec
retary shall cause this hall to be draped In
mourning, as a mark of respect for the late
James A. Garfield, citizen, Christian, states
man and President.
4. Resolved, That we will gladly co operate
with our kind friends and brethren In this
city in avoiding all festivity and every dem
onstration which can in any way Interfere
with the only sentiment which should claim
our attention —grief for the loss, honor to
the memory of the late President of the
United States.
We condense the following from the re
ports of the business of Wednesday :
A matter discussed quite extenslvi ly was
the by-laws which r-lates to the regalias and
collars of the order, and which is as fol
lows : The regalia of the order shall be as
follows : Collars of subordinate lodges shall
be white, trimmed wltn emblematic color of
the degree Intended to be represented,
namely : First degree, pink ; second degree,
blue ; third degree, scarlet. Rosettes of the
appropriate color may be worn upon the
collar. Plain white apron for the iultiatoiy
degree.
The Noble Grand, Vice Grand and Treas
urer shall each wear a scarlet collar trimmed
wLh white or silver. Supporters of the
Noble Grand, Vice Grand, Secretary and
Treasurer shall each wear a scarlet collar
trimmed white or silver. Supporters of the
Noble Grand and Vice Grand shall wear
sashes of scarlet color. Wartlea and Con
ductor, black sashes; Bcene Supporters,
white sashss; Chaplain, white sash; Outside
Guardian, red sash; Inside Guardian, red
sash.
The different sections of this rule were
taken up and disposed of, the discussion re
sulting In tbe changing of quite a number
of regalias and collars. Next year the con
vention will be held at Baltimore, which Is
regarded as the meeting place for every
session, provided no other cltv desires the
presence of the three-linked brethren.
Tbe Stewardship of Wealth and Ita
Relation to Charity.
Editor Morning News : I have, with the in
terest common to your readers, perused the
articles recently published In your paper on
the stewardship of wealth In Its relation to
charity. There Is no evidence adduced to
support the assumption that Mr. Delmonico
was uncharitable or a “6kln flint.” The fact
that there was no ostentatious parade of
legacies to charitable Institutions in hls will
does not prove It; for in my experience in
life I have known men to contribute gener
ously to the relief of distress habitually,
and say notbing about it, taking the money
out of their own pockets, and not plunder
ing their heirs. Besides, during the fifty
years and over I knew Delmonico I never
heard him charged with being mean or
miserly. On the contrary, I always
heard him spoken of as a liberal, good heart
ed man. He started to be the best restaura
Uur In the world,and he succeeded in achiev
log his ambition: which he could not have
done had he been mean and Illiberal. Forty
years ago It was agreed by acknowledged
gourmets of cultivated delicate tastes, that
nowhere in the world could one get such a
dinner, including fish, flesh, fowls, fruits,
desserts, etc., wines, liqueurs and exquisite
cookery, as at Delmonico’s in New York.
The boasted cafes of Paris, Very’s, Vefours,
the Rocber, and the others, were far behind
him. Each was famous for someone or
two particular di6h or dishes, but take every
thing served ab ovo usque ad mala, and, to use
slang, “they could not hold a candle to Del
monico”—whose memory lingers fragrantly
and flavorouslv upon my tongue. Hls
chargee were high—for to live high one has
to pay for it, as the history of gastronomy,
ancient and modern, records. But remsm
ber what study, thought, care and inventive
genius he brought to the preparation of hts
wonderful compositions 1 Of these rare tal
ents we mav form an estimate, when It was
stated in a Boston paper a short time since
that the chief cook of the Parker House re
ceived $6,000 per annum and his wine, and
President Walker, of Harvard University,
$4 000, without hiswine— showing clearly the
superior value of culluary knowledge and
skill. At any rate, Delmonico was an hon
est and honorable man, paying hls debts
cent per cent with Interest when he recov
ered from hls disastrous failure. He, no
doubt, preferred to be hls own administra
tor In charity to furnishing food to lawyers.
Beriously, I am lu favor of charity In all
of Its elements upon our philanthropy (par
ticularly in judging the acts of our fellow
men), and I think Savannah is remarkably
commendable in her liberality, considering
tbe small amount at the commands of our
citizens. Our population is barely 32,000.
nearly equally divided Into white and color
ed races. Our banks are agencies of North
ern capital—we having none of our own—
and five-sixths of ourbusinessjis Injthe,bands
of foreign houses or their agents. What,
little wealth we have Is spent annually at
the North by Its possessors, in pleasure,
clothing, house furniture, groceries, etc.
So, taking into account the few people to
give, and the little In their power to con
tribute, I think that Savannah maintains her
stand well In generous gifts. About 3 000
citizens of small means do this out of the
little cream and the skimmed milk left after
transferring the bulk of the cream to Eu
rope or the North. ' W.

THE LUNGS OF NEW YORK.
The City’s Parka—Necessity for
Their Increase The Numerous
Breathing Place* of the Great
Metropolis—What They Look Like
and Who Frequent Them.
New York, September £2.—There is
much being said in the papers about the ad
visability of increasing the number and the
area of our metropolitan parks. The Herald
of Sunday contained an able and exhaustive
article advocating an extension of their acre
age, and a leading editorial gave the idea of
the; journal's ex cathedra endorsement.
Among the many schemes which the sugges
tion will doubtless evolve there must be some
entirely too ambitious and utopian and some
probably unworthy of so generous a design.
That a great city like New York needs almost
boundless pleasure grounds anl breathing
places no one will deny. In spite of the
general comeliness and beauty of New York
there are portions of the city which more
than rival the sluggishness and filth of the
Rhine. Inhabitants of those districts are ac
quainted with all the distinct smells which
Coleridge found by analysis in the city of
Cologne, the reeking odors of Hunter’s
Point being, I venture to add, a
thing unique and unapproachable.
We have Chinese quarters and Italian quarters,
German quarters and Polish quarters. The
unsavory traditions of the Ghetto, Judet-
Strasse, Seven Dials and Petticoat Lane are the
stern realities of a newer, if not a better,
world. Will it be deemed unwise in face of
these facts to expend the public moneys in
multiplying resorts for the p or and discover
ing and beautifying green fields and pastures
new? Only the most cynical pessimist would
venture to sneer at so humane and beneficent
an undertaking.
But it should seem that in urging his plan for
extending our parks, the writer in the Herald
has failed to do justice to those which already
exist. Not that I mean to go into a long para
graph upon their stately and noble beauties,
their forests primeval and heights “rock-ribbed
and ancient at the sun.” The very misnomer
of calling such a plat of ground as Union
Square a “park,” is enough in itself to excite
ridicule. But none the less our shaded and pleas
ant squares are blessings to thousands of peo
ple, and I am satisfied that the poor laborers
and mechanics of this city are abundantly
thankful even for the quiet, secluded benches
of our beggarly little “parks.” One mav in
deed envy Savannah in her possession of beau
tifully shaded squares and ancient trees. There
are miles upon miles of streets in New York
which rival the desert itself, in the absence of
anything green. How touching and pathetic,
sometimes, is the sight of a few pots of flowers
far up in the window of a dark and crowded
dwelling, as if their poor fragrance might sug
gest to their owners earlier and more joyous
days. Yes, our vandalism has extended to na
ture itself. I fancy the office of “forester” in
New York is, so far at least as the streets are
concerned, a remembrance of older and green
er times.
For all that, New York has fourteen public
squares and parks, aggregating about 1,100
acres. The beauty of our parks is that they
are all within the city. The acreage of the
London parks is put down at 15,000 acres, and
that of the Paris parks at 8,000; but Rich
mond Park, Windsor Park, Hampton Court
and Bushv Park, which contain together 8,000
aerss, and are included in the above estimate,
are all some miles from London, and St. Cloud
and St. Germain are well outside of the utmost
limits of Paris. Central Park, which, when it
was laid out, twenty-five years ago, was sit
uated on the outskirts of the city, is now in
deed the “central” park, for it lies in the very
heart of the town. In comparing our parks
with those of London and Paris it is manifestly
unfair to place to the credit of those cities
such “outside affairs” as I have men
tioned. On the same principle we might
count In Jerome Park, the Elysian
Fields, Prospect Park, and, above all.
Coney Island, which, as a breathing
place for the people, eclipses all the others a
hunred fold.
Our oldest park is the Battery. Dating from
the discovery of the city by Hendrick Hudson,
it still exists in a green old age. In the early
days, and indeed till well into the present cen
tury, it constituted the fashionable promenade
of the gentry; now it is given over to the poorer
classes of the lower portions of the city, and to
the broken down nobility who arrive at Castle
Garden from the other side. None the less, its
admirable position at the southern extremity
of the island, commanding a magnificent pros
pect of the bay and the islands in it. makes the
old Battery a very charming aad popular re
sort.
The little lawn in front of Bowling Green,
which is fenced in and contains, I should think,
not more than an acre, is likewise historic
ground, for it once contained the celebrated
statue of George 111., which was palled down
by the sons of freedom at the beginning of the
revolution. Immediately opposite stands the
old Washington Hotel, a monument of by gone
days—General Washington's headquarters in
New York. Alas ! even this poor, unoffending
relic must succumb to the modern and unim
aginative spirit,. It has been recently sold to
Mr. Cyrus W. Field, who will tear it down and
erect a mountain in its place.
City Hall Park is now but a small affair.
Many public buildings, such as the new pot
office and the new courts of law, have infringed
upon its purlieus. Time was when choicest
and most brilliant exhibitions of fire works, cal
culated to fire the heart of the small boy and
keep alive within him the embers of smoth
ered enthusiasm, aroused him here on the
immortal Fourth to a pitch of wild and
ecstatic patriotism. Those nights of the
Fourth of July in the City Hail Paik are
bright spots in the memory of thousands Oh,
the gorgeous rockets and pin- wheels, the pyro
technic spluttering of the “pieces,” with Wash
ington on horseback, the star-spangled banner
waving in fire, and the motto "In God we
trust!'’ Even those heroic days are gone now.
The city is too thickly settled for the promis
cuous and careless firing of rockets. Infringe
ment of the law points to arrest and fine. Thus
'he boisterous and spread-eagle Fourth with
its happy memories has been diminished in
glory. The little boy no longer sits upon his
father's shoulder to view the display above the
heads of the crowd; no longer are those eager
Inquiries made about the meaning of the day
which recalled and kept alive our stirring an
nals in the mind of the father not less than they
satisfied the ingenuous curiosity of the son.
It is to be feared tnat in New York, at least, we
are becoming too foreign. A little less “Eng
lish” and a good deal more “American” would
become us better.
But to return from this digression. Avery
unique "park” in New York is Tompkins’
Square on the east side, a level plain of ten
and a half acres without a single tree or a
square foot of grass. This open space or plaza
is utilized by the children of the neighbor
hood as a play-field, and by our standing army
of militia as a parade ground for military ex
ercise. Here are often held mass meetings
and political pow-wows; and a few years ago,
at the time of the labor trouble, the high priest
of the trades unions offered up the golden calf
of monopolizing and tyrannizing capital to the
execration and fury of the great unwashed.
Washington, Union and Madison Squares and
Reservoir Park are small but beautiful
spots, from four to eight acres in size,
and located in the very heart of
busy New York. Their fountains are
indeed sometimes dry, but the grass is kept
closely shaven, the trees “high over-arch’d em
bower,” and the merry sparrow and agile
squirrel pursue their vocations here in oblivion
of the madding crowd. Hither comes troops
of pretty children with their neat French-cap
ped nurses and play away the morning hours
in driving their hoops or hurrying along on
their roller skates. Hither also resort those
gentlemen of leisure wbo pass their lives in
meditation and sleep; who con the newspapers
with hypercritical eye and refresh their stom
achs at the free ice water tanks near by. stop
ping now and then to view the progress of a
well attired lady, or the erection of the tower
ing electric lamp in the centre of the square.
Surely we have a "leisure class” here as well
as in England.
Stuyvesaat Square and Gramercy Park are
of the same general character, the lat
ter, however, being a private park, and
entered only by the residents of a refined and
elegant neighborhood. Some of the newer
squares are the Morningaide Park, at 110th
street and Eighth avenue; Mount Morris square,
at 120th street and Fifth avenue, and the Riv
erside Park, which extends along the banks of
Hudson from 72d street to 125th street. This
last is one of the most charming spots Imagin
able. A magnificent drive of three miles ex
tends along the lordly and picturesque river,
with a constant succession of beautiful views
and sndden surprises. It is the rival of the
best drives in Central Park, very much
surpassing them, in the opinion of a great
many. Last, and certainly not least, comes
Central Park, which needs no word of descrip
tion or comment. For bits of elegant land
scape gardening it is not outdone hy the Park
Monceau, at Paris; for continuous and stately
heauty, it takes its rank with the Bois de Bou
logne, Windsor and Hyde Parks.
In the face of all these lovely spots it is none
the less true that wo need more room for rec
reation and rest. The schemes already sug
gested are good, but vague. One is to lay ©lt
a park several miles in extent along the Hud
son, in Westchester county (the oity limits reach
now to Yonkers ) Another is to.have the aark
on the east side of the county, within sight of
the sound. Another gentleman says buy up
the interior of Staten Island, connect the island
with New York by a tunnel, and you have the
whole thing in a nutshell. Yet another plan
is to abolish the effete and childish govsrrment
fortifications an the islands in the bay and take
those places for the purpose. Thus, you see, the
thinking men are at work. There can be little
doubt that a bill will be introduced in the As
sembly to cover the design. Whether the park
will be speedily begun or laid upon the table
cannot of course at this moment be deter
mined. But. of a surety,there’s something float
ing in the air, and I dare say dear old Central
Park will at last be deserted and giTe \yay to
the forthcoming novelty. Horace.
Mr. Walter F. McCune, of Pittsburg, Pa.,
writes: “My age la 28 years. I w#e born
with an excellent constitution, but! at the
age of 10, having Just finished my collegiate
education, I fell into habits of dissipation.
After six years of fast living I felt my con
stitution broken down. I put myself under
the care of one of our best physicians. His
treatment seemed to do me no good. Finally
he said at best 1 could live but a few years;
that my bowels, kidneys and lungs were all
threatened with consumption, and were fa6t
wasting away In certain (decay. I tried
everything advertised, hoping to gain relief.
Finally I drifted into a state of melancholy
and hopeless despair, suffering excruciat
ingly from dyspepsia, short breath, and uri
nary catarrh. A year ago I saw Brown’s
Iron Bitters advertised. I used them, and
they acted like a charm. I soon began to
enjoy dreamless slumber, and now I feel
myself a man once more, aud have gained
fifty-four pounds since using the remedy.
I feel very strong, and can hold out a 45-
pound weight. Brown’s Ison Bitters saved
my life.” j *
