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. Mr J. S Lefsvour. artist, Salem, Mass., reports that be used St. Jacobs Oil with rare satisfaction and surprising benefit for rhea* tPAtium of twenty years standing. 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. natters and Things Laconically Noted. John E. Owens will be here the first week in October. Work was generally suspended along the wharves yesterday. Hands were at work discharging the Balti more steamer yesterday. The assessment at the Police Court yes terday amounted to sls. The custom house was closed yesterday and there were no clearances from this port. Hon. George R. Black, Representative to Congress from the First district, was in the city yesterday. Hon. D. C. Bacon returned from Atlanta yesterday. The Legislature will probably adjourn to day. Tickets for the gift entertainment under the auspices of the Republican Blues are going off rapidly. The receipts of naval stores yesterday were 116 barrels of rosin and 189 casks spirits turpentine. There have been received to date 77,893 bales of cotton, ‘against 95,736 bales for the same time last year. It Is estimated that the crop of mosqui toes this month is the largest since the close of the war. Wherefore ? The streets yesterday afternoon and last night were disgraced by very few drunken and disorderly characters. The tag Mary Shaw, Captain Muir, from Baltimore and bound for Mobile, came Into this port yesterday for coal. Richard Grant, colored, was yesterday fined In the Police Court $lO for breaking in tbe door of Celia Harris, colored. The damage to the wood work of the Norwegian bark Condor which was sustain ed during the storm has been repaired. Mr. J. W. Tynan’s new brass fonndry, which was blown down during the storm, Is being rebuilt, and is nearly completed. A complete set of new sails for the Nor wegian bark Condor was brought out by the steamship Juniata from New York. The walls of the warehouse of the Lower Hydraulic Cotton Press, which were blown down during the gale, are about being re built. The repairs to the schooner Maid of the Mist will be completed by the latter part of the week, when she will engage in the coasting trade. Two dredges went down the river yester day to the point where the Boutwell is ly ing, and will be employed in the work of digging her out. Paul Grant, the colored trooper who was arrested for beating his wife, Linda Grant, on Saturday night, was yesterday in the Police Court fined $5. The list of up, cleared and sailed for this pert to date comprises thirty vessels, as fol lows: Two ships, twenty one barks, four brigs and three schooners. The barge Rockwood, which sunk at Do boy during the recent hurricane, has been raised. The hull Is in complete order, but the pilot house and upper works were badly damaged. The brick walls around the new wbarf of the Baltimore steamships, which were de molished by the storm on the 27th ult., have been rebuilt, and work will commence on the sheds to-day. Throughout the entire business part of the city yesterday were to be seen emblems of mourning, and from all public buildings, offices and miiltary armories flags were die played at half mast. A white man, too drunk to give his name, was found lying flat on the sidewalk, cor ner of Montgomery and Bay streets, yester day morning at 11 o’clock, and was carried to the barracks in a wagon. Anew bridge connecting tbe main road to the Central Railroad wharves with the road to the western end of the new cotton press has been completed, and will be of great convenience In the transportation of cotton. The slip just east of the Central Railroad wharves, which belongs to that company, has been already deepened and widened sufficiently to admit two vessels. The steamship Juniata and bark Lady Dufferln are both discharging there. The Baltimore Gazette mentions among the fair sex present at a recent tournament at Towsentcwn, near Baltimore, by the Towsontown Guards, who are preparing to visit Yorktown, Miss Fannie Rldgely, the accomplished daughter of our fellow citi zen, Capt. Charles L. Rldgely. An unfortunate white woman named Prendergast, who Is addicted to strong drink, was discovered lying at the corner of Lincoln and Congress streets yesterday afternoon, and had to be brought to the po lice barracks in a wagon. It is not the first ridqin that wagon the unfortunate woman has had. 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. A New Comet. Intelligence received from the Warner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., announces the discovery of anew comet located In the constellation of Virgo. It is a striking co incidence that this new snd bright comet sppeared st the ssme boar President Gar field was breathing his last. It was first seen by E. E. Barnard, In Nashville, Tenn., who has made claim through Prbf. Bwift for the Warner prize of S2OO in gold. This makes the fifth comet seen since May Ist, and of this number four have appeared from almost the same spot In the heavens. Obstructing the Street. f.t night, about half past seven o’clock, Policeman Bender arrested one Thomas Weghtman, colored, who was obstructing the street, comer of Broughton and Dray ton streets. 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. 14. Sons of Dittmersville. 15. Mechanics’ Benevolent Association. 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. At Esttll’s To-Day, 4T Bnll Street.

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 ing permission to occupy Fort Falaskl 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.

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.
