A Distinguished Temperance Advocate
in Savannah.
It Is definitely announced that Mrs. J.
Ellon Foster, of lowa, the celebrated ad
vocate of the temperance cause, will lie in
Savannah this week, and will address the
citizens on Friday night. Mrs. Foster is
now on a visit to her uncle. Judge Wat
son, of Mississippi. Her husband is the
Hon. E. C. Foster, of lowa. One of the
New York papers says this of her: “There
Is not a State at the North in w hich the
temperance cause is not more powerful
for her logic and eloquence. Whether
making her great argument for constitu
tional prohibition before the Congressional
committee, leading the music for immense
audiences, answering l>r. Crosby at Tre
rnont Temple, reading Plato in the ears,
playing with her children at home, Mrs.
Foster is always mistress of the situation.
Her husband’s heart safely trusts in her:
and her boys, prepared by her for college,
glory in claiming as mother this gifted,
lovely Christian woman.”

To-day the funeral of Georgia's great
vn,t jov-sl statesman will be attended
with solemn ceremony at Atlanta. The
preparations have been made, and the
mortal remains of the great man will be
laid to rest with the highest honors that
the people and the State can accord.
Thousands have gathered from every part
of Georgia and from adjoining States to
witness the sad rites, and shed a
tear over the grave of the peo
ple's friend. Atlanta was yesterday
Sited with visitors, and twenty thousand
people viewed the remains as they lay in
state in the capital. To-day the city will
be thronged. The funeral will take place
at 3 o'clock and the bells will toll the
solemn march to the tomb. Memorial
services will be held in the churches

and in Christ Episcopal Church at 11
o’clock; the schools will be closed,

solemn occasion it would lea fit
ting token that the bells in the various
chorehes iu the city should be tolled be
tween 3 aud 4 o’clock, the hour the fune
ral will occur.
Last night the city was busy with the
preparations for the departure of the mili
tary. The various organizations assem
bled at their armories soon after dark,
and ail was hurry and bustle till the
train* left the city. A heavy rain began
to fail late in the afternoon, and by night
the streets were full of mud. The various
commands rendezvoused at their armories
and inarched to the Central Railroad de
pot in detachments. The baggage, in
charge of the quartermasters, was eared
for in advance, and placed in special cars.
At s o’clock the Central Railroad depot
was a scene of which Savannah may well
tie proud. Two special trains of sixteen
coaches were drawn up in the station,
and crowds of pewjde were assembled to
witness tbe departure. Shortly after *
o’clock tbe military began to arrive, and
j the corridors and sheds were crowded
with citizens and soldiery. The delega
tion is probably the largest ever sent
, from 'avannah on any occasion, and will
fitly represent the city on this day of
mourning and universal sorrow.

gia. under command of Lieut. Col. Peter
Reilly, w ith Lieut, li. O. Gaillard. Adju

his recent visit to 'avannah, draped In
mourning. The detachment carried !*
men and their band of lie pieces, with
field and staff dismounted, commanded bv
Lieutenant Colonel Garrard. The detail
wore the appropriate badges of mourn
ing. and is u fitting display of the respect
of the gallant corps for their great Com
mander-in-Chief.
The gallant Chatham Artillery, under
command of Lieutenant R. F. Harmon,
■ earning the State flag aud wearing
badges of deep mourning, carried a de
tachment of 25 men. the Washington

33 men. with ’horse, commanded by
Lieutenant J. H. * Johnston. and
will lead the column in the
parade at Atlanta. The Savannah Mili
tary Institute sent a large detachment of
fifty Cadets, under the direction and com
mand of Major B. J. Burgess, and the
military faculty of the school. The rep
resentation of* the military forces num
iiered 3*3 inen rank and tile, and will be a
magnificent escort to the funeral cortege
of the illustrious dead.
The civic delegation comprised the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen and a
large number of leading citizens, among
whom was General Henry R. Jackson”,
who w ill be one of the funeral orators at
the memorial services at the capi
tal this morning. The City Council
wore badges of deep mourningj on which
was inscribed the seal of the city, sur
rounded with heavy black borders and
edged with heavy gold fringe. Several of
the detachments from the regiment also
displayed appropriate mourning em
blems, and the colors and arms of the en
tire force were draped.
The trains were made up in two sec
tions, each carrying eight coaches. The
sleepers were occupied by the Military
Academy Cadets.tbe civic representations,
the regular passengers and as many
ofrhe military as could be accommodated.
The remainder of the representation were
provided with day coaches. At 8:30 the
first seetion, carrying the Battalion, the
Cadets, the Oglethorpe Light Infantry and
the pulled out of the station
amid cheers, and soon after the last sec
tion, bearing the remainder of the mili
tary, followed. They will arrive in At
lanta at 8:45 o’clock this morning and will
be received and assigned quarters pre
paratory to the parade.
The representation on their return will
leave Atlanta after the ceremonies, at9:3o
o'clock to-night, and will arrive in sa
vannah to-morrow at 3:50 p. m. No defi.
nite arrangement for the parade had been
communicated to the officers commanding
the various organizations at the time of
their departure last night. The Savannah
detachment will, however, be supported
by details from Augusta, Macon, Ameri
cus, Eatonton and Columbus, and will tie

THE MISSING night watchman.
The Kiver Give* up It, hfwt-The Body
of Peter Houston Found in Bilbo*
Canal—No Indication* of Violence-
The Coroner’s Investigation.
Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock
colored fisherman known as “Old Jones,
while rowing his boat up the river dis
covered under the covering at the mouth
of the Bilboa canal tbe body of a man
floating on the water. The discovery was
at one*- reported to Coroner >heftail. and
at half-past two o'clock a jury was sum
moned and proceeded to make an exami
nation of the remains. Meanwhile a large
crowd of colored people and others had
eoltected in tbe vk-initv. on the Savannah,
Florida and Western'Railway wharves,
and the body was identified as that of the
1-sU- Peter Houston, the nizht watchman
of the custom house, whose sudden and
hitherto unexplained disappearance oa
tne night of Saturday, the 24th ult.. has
been freely commented upon.
The Coroner made a very thorough
search of the deceased person for mark*
and other signs of violence, but found
none. The clothing worn by Houston
when last seen was whole, and all his
personal effects, including a watch and a
revolver, the latter with one chamber dis
charged, were found in his pockets. The
remains, though considerably swollen,
were easily identified, and. after examina
tion, were removed to the morgue, and
afterwards to the First African Baptist
! Church. preparatory to the fu
neral. which will take place
this afternoon. The inquest
and investigation of the circamstances
connected with the case was adjourned
until 3 o’clock to-dav. and it is probable
will not be concluded until to-morrow.
It is proper to state that among the effects

man wa* a letter written on the 24th

Attraction* at the Theatre—Btrau*’
••Merry War.”
During the engagement of Chas. E.
Ford’s English Comic Opera Company at
the Savannah Theatre next w eek Johann
Strauss’, the Waltz King, last and justly
famous otveratic success, entitled “The
* Merry War,” will be sung by this com
pany, and those who missed hearing this
opera last fall will have one more oppor
. tunity to enjoy its captivating music. We
republish the following extract from
the Charleston -Yew* and Courier:
“A large audience assembled at the
; Academy of Music to witness the initial
performance in this ettv of Strauss’
"Merry War” by C'has. E. Ford’s Comic
Opera Company. The opera, which is
one of the most enjoyable and amusing of
j Strauss’ compositions was excellently
rendered, and the chorus, as well as the
different performers, were repeatedly*
encored. The music, like all of
Strauss', is bright and vivacious,
abounding in sprightly and charm
ing passages, and almost every charac
ter, when properly represented, may
alternate with others in being the leading
one of the play. Mr. Philip Branson, in
the character of‘Umberto Spjnola,’ played
and sang the part of the ‘General’ in a
happy manner. Charles H. Drew is an
old Charleston favorite, and took the part
of the ‘Marquis’ in capital style. His song
in the first act of *Tbe easiest-w ay’s the
best,’ was sung with great effect. As the
•Dutch tulip planter,’ George Denham
was simply immense, his cxeruciatinglv
funny style convulsing the audience with
laughter. MisAiilanche Chapman played
•Elsa. Groot’s wife,’ in her usual
sprightly manner. Her duet with • Balt
haser ’ iii the third act was one of the ma
tures of the performance. As the ‘ Coun
tess of Lomeiline,’ Miss Marie Boeckel
never appeared to better advantage, nor
did she ever sing better. This was Shown
bv the numerous recalls she received.
Miss Genevieve Reynolds acquitted her
self admirably as the dignified ‘ Princess
of Maiaspina.’ She rendered the drill
song in the second uct in au effective man
ner. The dressing and marching were su
|M-rb, and the chorus was strong in num
ber and showed efficient training.”

Is It Wiggins' Storm?
During the present week the inhabi
tants of the Atlantic Coast States had
l*etter tie themselves fast if they place
the remotest confidence in the prophetic
]>owerfi of Wiggins and Venrior. Vennor
has gone over to Wiggins. In spite of the
lamentable failure of the last mentioned
prophet during February, Vennor practi
cally accepts his prognostications for
March, lie, however, does not dwell
particularly upon the predicted hur
ricanes of the Bth and* Oth.
He prints in his Bulletin a column or
so of able astronomical matter to show
that Mr. Wiggins is not quite so profi
cient as he might be in the science of
astro-meteorology. But the signs for
those da vs in March are more foreboding
than in February. The readers have not
vet sent in their answers. But enough
has been said to show that we must not
yet take off our flannels or send our over
coats to the Western flood sufferers.
There will be bad weather of various
descriptions on the 10th, 12th, 17th, 18th,
19th, 20th, 27th, and 31st days of this
month, and the other days, we are ied to
believe, will not lie balmy with the breath
of spring. From the indications last
night it seems the storm is on deck, and
we await developments.

THE GREENE MONUMENT.
A Silent Shaft That Fails of It* Fur
pose—Report of Committee to the
Georgia Historical Society.
At the meeting of the Georgia Histori- !
cal .Society on Monday evening the follow
ing report was submitted in reference to ’
the completion of the monument to the j
memory of General Greene in Johnson ,
square:
Some two years ago a joint committee
from the Georgia Historical Society and
City Council was created to devise some
method or plan for the completion of the
monument to Gen. Nathaniel Greene, in
Johnson square, by proper inscription.
To ail visiting * stratisers and to tbe
large majority of the inhabitants of Sa
vannah. whether native or foreign, the
commemorative purpose of the monu
ment in Johnson square has been
either unknown or a matter of
unpleasant uncertainty: and, indeed, had
it not been for the republication by Mr. E.
J. Purse on the 12th February last of a
little pamphlet originally published in
1825 by a joint committee of the City
Council ana citizens, "to rescue i say* the
preface ; from forgetfulness the animating
and interesting scenes in which most_ of
us have been engaged” ’among which
was the laying of the corner stone of a
monument in Johnson square >, that for
getfulness would have been com
plete. A monument without inscription
perpetuates nothing. Is not a monument.
The monument in Johnson square must
be torn down to find substantial evidence
on its corner stone of its intent.
This Corner Stone
Gf a Monument
To the Memory of
Major General Nathaniel Greene
Was laid by
General Lafayette
On the 21st March A. D. 1825,
At the request of the citizens of Savannah.
In contrast, the treatment and method
of two other monuments is instructive.
At the base of the northeast supporting
i pier of the great dome of St. Paul’s Ca
, ihedral and overshadowed by it, is a
magnificent and massive marble monu
ment to the memory of Charles Marquis
; Cornwallis, the great antagonist of Gen
eral Greene, master of the South in 17S0,
■ outmanoL-uvred, outgeneraled and driven
; from the Carol!nas in 1781. The inscrip
j tions upon this monument are abundant
! and unmistakable and somewhat in this
style:
Charles Marquis Cornwallis,
Victor at Camden. Guilford, Bangalore,
Serinzapatam and a dozen more ).
Governor General of India.
Viceroy of Ireland.
Knitrht Companion of tbe Garter.
Member*of His Majesty’s Privy Council,
etc., etc., etc.
In Westminster Abbey is a costly mon
ument whose ample inscription does not
fail to fully perpetuate the virtues aud
sad story of Major Andre. And yet it was
Gen. Nathaniel Greene whose painful
duty it was to preside over the court mar
tial" which condemned Andre as a spy.
Where is the spot which holds the mortal
remains of this republican hero and
patriot General 1 Even the monument in
.'avannah, which was erected to perpetu
ate the memory of the better deeds of this
greater man. is silent, and fails of its
purpose.
Aoeorapanving this report is a large
drawing of the monument with accurate
measurements made by Mr. John B.
Howard, together with certain added
lines to show the manner and appearance
of certain inscriptions! and commemora
tive bronze tablets. It will be seen that
ui>on the narrow faces of the pedestal
east ana west are two medalion ovals
in bronze, the western to he filled with
an alto relievo bust of General Nathaniel
Greene: the eastern oval as an obverse,
being filled with an inscription as follows:
First. The corner stone inscription.
Second. Dates ot birth, death, nativity.
Third. “Saviour of the South.”
“He commenced the Southern campaign
A. D. 1780, without an army, provisions
or military stores. Cornwallis hoidinz the
entire country South. By the battle of
Cowpens, January, 1781. and the incred
ible retreat across the Carolina.*. Febru
ary. 17*1. succeeded by the battle of Guil
ford, March, 1781, Cornwallis was com
pelled to abandon the South and attempt
a junction at Yorktown with Sir Henry
Clinton. The victory ol Eutaw Springs.
September, 1781, narrowed British control
of the country to the city of Charleston,
which wa* finally surrendered to the vic
torious Greene. Decernl>er 13. 1782.
“Next to Washington, the ablest patriot
soldier of the American Revolution.”
L'pon the broad face, north, might be a
large bronze baso relievo scene of the
retreat across the Carolina*, say that
closing scene of the crossing of the turbu
lent Lower Dan in a wintry night by
the rear guard under Lee as ck'-x-ribed by
Headley in “Washington and his Gener
als.” page ‘M. vol. 2.
L’pon the broad face of the pedestal
south might lie a bronze baso relievo of
the most striking scene in the battle of
Eutaw Springs, as described by Headley
in “Washington and his Generals," page
02. vol. 2.
Such a method of treatment of the pe
destal would not be unusual. The Con
federate monument of granite in Charles
ton has been just completed in this style.
This method, moreover, recommends’ it
self because it does not chance in the
slightest degree the plan, symmetry or
proportion* of the present monument.
These bronzes, further, are susceptible of
the; very highest style of art without an
impossible extravagance of price. Thev
need not necessarily be finished at one
and the same time, but separately, as the
design may be adopted and the-money ob
tained. the ovals being first completed.
At this moment of revival of interest in
the history of Savannah, and. indeed, of
the w hole country, an energetic, commit
tee from this society might accomplish
much.
The Royal Arcanum.
The Grand Council of the Royal Ar
canum of the State of Georgia will con

There are in the State thirty Councils,
and the indications are that every Coun
cil will be represented in this annual
meeting. The Committee of Arrange
ments in Atlanta have completed their
labors for the entertainment of their visi
tors, and an enjoyable time is guaranteed
the delegates. Tuesday the Grand Re

Lodge asking whether it would not
be advisable to postpone the Grand
Council meeting for one week on account
of the death of Governor Stephens. After
a consultation with the Committee of Ar
rangement and the Committee upon Re
ception, the response was telegraphed de
clining to j>osti>one. It is contemplated
by the committee that the Grand Council
will meet in the morning at 9 o’clock and
transact whafcbusiness they can between
that hour and 12 o’clock. At 12 they will
adjourn and in a body probably attend the
funeral. The session will be reopened
Thursday night and an adjournment had
on Friday. Among other business before
the Grand Council this session will be the
election of officers.

A TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD
Action of the Stephen* Home Associa
tion Colored .
Editor Mttruing Xetc*: At * meeting of
the Stephens Home Association ( colored )
of the eitv of Savannah, held on Tuesday,
bth inst_ Abraham Burke, by invitation
of the society, made the following remarks
upon tbe death of his lhte Excellency
Governor Alexander H. Stephens:
Mr. President and Members of the Ste
phens Home Association: One of the most
illustrious and most beloved personages
tnis State has ever produced. His Exel
lenc-y A. H. Stephens, late Governor
of Georgia, is no more, ater having
filled the measure of his duty to
his country and assured his own political
fame. On" every occasion he perforated
his duty to his country, not only with that
fidelity* and devotion which becomes a
good citizen, but with that wisdom and
paternal solicitude which have obtained
for him the esteem of mankind. The
venerable counsellor was known as a
Christian gentleman, whose wisdom,
moderation and integrity endeared him to
the hearts of hi* people. He has been
called at last by the Almighty Father, we
hope to the enjoyment of that rich reward
which is promised to those who act well
their part on earth.
It is salutary to observe the outpourings
of affection and sorrow on the departure
of those whose virtues and goodness have
endeared them to our hearts. It elevates
the finer feelings of our natures. The
sons and daughters of Georgia, of
both races, mourn the loss of Mr. Ste
phens with a community sorrow. The
feelings of the people have been mani
festedin measures of respect ami venera
tion worthy of a people’s affection and
gratitude. ‘
Governor Stephens was truly a Chris
tian gentleman. To his equals he was
courteous, to his inferiors kind, and to the
dear object of his affections exemplarily
tender, Vice shuddered in nis presence.
Virtue alwavs felt his fostering hand.
The purity of his private character gave
effulgence" to his public virtues.
The last scene comported with the whole
tenor of his career. Although in extreme
pain not a sigh, not a groan, escaped him,
and with undisturbed serenity he closed
his well-spent life.
When we asunder part
it gives us inward pain;
ltut we shall still be joined ia heart.
And hope to meet again.
I have the honor to present to you a let
ter from Mr. Stephens in his own hand
writing. which will throw light upon the
kindlv regard he had for the colored race:
Executive Department, *
Atlanta, Ga„ Jan. 3,1883.!
Abraham Burke. Corresponding Secretary
of the Stephens Hoiae for the Old. Aged
awl Incur/Me. Samnnah , Ga.:
Dear mb—Your letter of the 28th ult-,
requesting me to address the colored citi
zens of Savannah on the afternoon of the
12th day of February next, in the interest
of the Stephens Home, was received sev
eral days ago. You must excuse the de
lav of my response. It has been occa
sioned by‘the absence of my private secre
tary on a visit home during tbe holidays.
Allow me now to say that if my health
and strength will permit me, I will com
ply with your request and make the ad
dress you wish. I cannot now make a
positive promise, but you may let it be
known that I will make’ the address if my
physical condition will enable me to’ do
so." With earnest wishes for the success
of vour enterprise. I remain very truly
yours. Alexander 11. Stephens.
It was on the afternoon of the 12th of
February, in the city bt Savannah, thafl
had the honor of being one of the com
mittee that held the interview with our
departed friend w ith the view of obtain
ing bis influence and aid to erect a home
for the old, aged and incurable of our race.
We were received with all honor, aud the
last words I heard fall from his Ups was
when he said to his private secretary:
“Take the name of the Rev. J. N. Nesliit
and his post office address. I shall send
to him fifty dollars to be added to the sub
scription as my contribution towards the
home for the old- and afflicted colored
people.” He further stated that he would
take an active part to help ns to complete
the home.
Such was the man we have lost. Such
was the man for whom our people mount.
Methiuk* I see his august image and hear
falling from his venerable lips these deep
sinking words, “Cease, sons and daughters
of Georgia, lamenting our separation. Go
on and confirm by your wisdom the fruits
of my counsel.” " Our advocator for the
home for the old, aged and afflicted is no
more. lie is gone to rest w ith his God.
and we must submit to the will of an ail
gracious Providence.
But when monuments shall have crum
bled, when nations now existing shall lie
no more, when even our far-spreading
empire shall have perished, still will our
Stephens’ glory unfaded shine, and die
not until love of virtue cease on earth, or
earth itself sinks into chaos. May God
help us to continue the good work until a
home. for the old. aged and incurable is
completed.
On motion, the following resolutions
were adopted, to-wit: p
The Stephens Home Association (col
ored jof the citv of Savannah is highly
gratified with the manner in which our
young brother Abraham Burke has per
formed the service assigned to him, and
therefore lie it

handed to the editor of the Savannah
Morning News, with the request that
the same be published as expressing our
sentiments of resiiect and our grief at

Drinking Impure Water.
A correspondent of the London Globe,
writing about the indifference of the
Oriental to filth, says they regard the pol
lution of wells with unconcern wliieh is
amazing. Most natives, even of the high
est caste, have no objection to use, both
for domestic and drinking purposes,water
which may be described simply as filthy.
People wash their clothes and themselves
in tanks from which the women .take
home water for cooking and drinking.
The only desideratum is that the water
shall be “soft.” In some places it has
been found useful to set apart by munici
pal authority certain tanks for washing,
and others for the supply of drinking
water, but the regulation can only be car
ried out by appointing watchmen to en
force it. Satisfactory progress has been
made in improving the water sup
ply of the great cities, and
it" would seem that as regards
some of these there is not now very much
to complain of. An example of the dan
ger incurred by English soldiers from
drinking impure water is afforded by an
instance reported from Kamptee. A de
tachment of the Second Battalion of the
Thirteenth Regiment stationed there suf
fered from an outbreak of enteric fever.
It was speedily noticed that nearly all the
patients were teetotalers, and it turned
out that the teetotal soldiers had a recrea
tion room of their own, where they drgnk
tea, coffee, * rated w aters, and what was
supposed to lie pure water. On examina
tion, however, it was found that the latter
fluid was drawn from a well close at
hand, which bail been polluted by percola
tion from neighboring drains. The other
men had not drunk from this well, and
nearly all escaped the epidernie.
Important to Mother*.
Mrs. Winslow’s soothing syrup is
the only thing that mothers can rely upon
for their children. It corrects acidity of
the stomach, cures wind colic, regulates
the bowels, and gives rest, health and
comfort to mother and child. During the
process of teething its value is incalcula
ble. It softens the gums, reduces inflam
mation and allays pain, thereby giving
rest to the child and comfort to the mother.
