quisitely asthetic idea in the shape of a
cluster of red rosebuds, apparently just
fallen upon the marble step ujon which
rests one toot of our President." Evi
dently Mr. Arthur was determined to lie
distinguished in some way. He could not
have been appropriately represented as a
statesman or a warrior, but who will deny
him the position of prince of the esthetes ?
A New Park Project.
Americans who have not traveled I
abroad labor under the impression that
the great parks of the world are in this
country. This is a mistake. Central
Park in New York, Fairmount in Phila
delphia. Druid Hill in Baltimore, and
Lake Side in Chicago are very fine, and
are the pride of the cities in which they
are located, but they are not to be com
pared to those of Europe. The govern- |
ments of Europe have been very careful :
to provide places where the people of the ,
great cities can. in their hours of leisure. ,
• •njoy the sight of trees and gre*-n grass,
hear the songs ot birds and breathe the ,
fresh air. They understand the advantages
..f parks, and know from experience that ;
-money spent on them is not thrown away.
The late Dr. Arnold used to call our pret
ty little parks “the lungs of the town.” i
Forsyth Place is pretty, and its attrac- i
lions are fully appreciated. We are in
debted to the late Mr. Hodgson for it. He
was an honored and public-spirited citi- ,
zen. It is. however, too small for our
wants. The time has come for making
preparations for a park worthy of the
future of the city. The twenty-six little
public squares which are scattered about
the city answer a go*d purpose, but they '
don’t answer the same purpose that a |
large park does. Savannah is, per
haps. better off in the way of j
parks than any city of her wlass
in the country. That is no reason,
however, why she should not increase her
attractions. We wish to suggest a liue
of action tor the City Council in this mat
ter. The city has still thirteen city lots,
all or which are quite valuable. At pub
lic auction they would sell lor at least
$1,500 apiece. For the money realized from
them 2.<ri acres of land suitable for park
purposes, and w ithin from one to three
miles of the extended city limits, could
fie obtained. One-halt of the tract should
lie set apart for a park, and the other half
should lie divided into building lots. We
advise that the land be bought now, be
cause it can lie bought cheap. It will not
occasion the city any excuse. All that
will lie necessary in the way of improve
ments for years will be to cut a few roads
through it. and. perhaps, plant a few
trees. It may lie that land can be bad
that has all the trees necessary. In time
in our opinion in a very few years—there
would be a demand for the lots, and they
would furnish the money to improve the
park. There may tie some who have
doubts about the future of Savannah.
We are .not troubled in that way. lhe
eitv has shown a steady and healthy
growth for many years. Many of our
citizens remember when it was quite
a small town. Now it is a city of
P),oiio |icople. The entire Snith is grow
ing rapidly, and Savannah is certain to
keep pace with that growth. Other rail
wavs. seeking the sealsiard, are certain
to be built here. The surrounding coun
try will Is* settled up and will furnish
trade. Now is the time to secure the land
necessary for a park. The money to
carry out our suggestion can lie ole
tained in the way stated. In no
other way, perhaps, will the 13 city
lots ever lie of any great benefit to the
city. The city administration that takes
hold of this park subject will occupy as
high a place in public estimation as the
administration which secured the Spring
field plantation. Hutchinson’s island, and
other lands which are now controlled by
the city in the interest of public health.
A Suggestion Uespectinj; Convict
La I sir.
The parties entitled to the labor of the
convicts of this State, either by special
act or lease, are having a legal quarrel
respecting their rights. The labor ot the
convicts is so valuable that the parties
entitled to it can afford to pay heavy law
yers’ fees and legal expenses to get a few
more convicts under their control, or to
retain all of those they have. The Legis
lature. at its last session, directed the
penitentiary keeper to deliver enough
convicts to the Marietta and North Geor
gia Railroad Company to keep their num
ber up to 280 for three years.
The penitentiary companies, which
lease the convicts, regard this as
an infringement of their rights,
and have temjiorarily enjoined the
penitentiary keeper from complying with
the resolution of the Legislature. The
merits of the issue thus raised are now
lieing considered. We are not particu
larly interested in the result, hut now
that the attention of the public is directed
to our convict system, we think the op
portunity is favorable to suggest the ad
visability of abandoning the leasing sys
tem and of employing the convicts in re
pairing the public reads of the Ntate and
in building new roads. It > has lioen
said that the condition of the
public roads of a country is
an indication of the grade of civilization
of the jieoplc. This may not hold good in
all cases, but it is a fact that the public
reads in any community are improved as
the people grow prosperous and wealthy.
A well known South Carolina gentleman
| in an article, lately published, which at
■ traded a great deal or attention, showed
i pretty satisfactorily that good dirt roads
were of far more lienefit to many coun
ties of sparsely settled regions than rail
ways. In this State, as in almost all the
Southern States, the reads at certain sea
sons of the year are almost impassable,
aud at no season are they very good. What
is spent on them in read taxes and
I labor required by law, together with the
loss which farmers suffer on account of
the additional time required to transjiort
their products to market and on account
of the additional labor imposed u|Mn them
and their horses, would lie sufficient to
maintain the convicts as well, if not liet
t-r. than they are maintained now. In
the course of a few years there would be
good roads all over the State. To carry
out our suggestion, each county would
have to support a certain number of con
victs a portion of each year. There is
nothing that would contribute more to the
mprorement of the State than good roads.
The failure of Moritz Ranger, of Liver
pool, who was perhaps the largest specu
lator in futures in the world, is the sub
ject of a good deal of talk among cotton
men. So great was Moritz Ranger’s in
fluence in the cotton market that it has
been said that he fixed the price of cotton
for the world. After a career of wonder
ful success his judgment was at last at
fault. This season he was on the wrong
side of the market with heavy contracts,
and the load became too heavy for him to
carry. Mr. Ranger has large interests in
New Orleans, and has been a prominent
litigant in the courts of that city for
years.
Some of the Northern States are liegin
ning to realize the extent to which the

as to give them all the opportunities for

tricts and two whole wards the Demo
crats are excluded Irom all participation
or voice in the management of the elec
tion. Tho past tactics of this party indi
cates that it intends to carry the ap
proaching election by fair means or foul,
and thus enforce their unwritten iaw ex

A day or two ago we gave a full ac
count of the cotton-picking machine in

Our dispatches this morning say that the

machine, w as exhibited at the Charleston
Exchange yesterday and attracted great
attention. If this invention sustains the
claims made for it planters will be pretty
independent during cotton picking season.

Corruption of Federal Officials.
The heads ot the departments in Wash
ington seem to have recognized the fact
all at once that the government wmbe- j
in" robbed right ami left, and that there
was need of greater vigilance on their j
part. The country was startled a few
days ago by tbe announcement of Mr.
Dudley. Commissioner of Pensions, that
an army of peusion agents was defraud
ing the government and pensioners, and
now it appeals that L’nited states Mar
shals. in different parts of the country,
and their deputies have leen fill
ing their pockets with unlawful
lees. A letter alleged to have been w rit
ten by a former Marshal of this state to
one of his deputies, in which the deputy
was urged to adopt improper methods to
increase his fees, was published a day or
two ago. If the letter is genuine, it
shows that the condition of affairs in the
Marshal’s office of this State, at that
time, was verv corrupt. Another in
stance of corrupt practices has just lieen
reported in Washington. The Special
Agents of the Department of Justice
say that the management of the office of
the United States Marshal tor the North
ern District of New Y ork has been char
acterized by fraud, maladministration
and general looseness. According to the
report there was a regular conspiracy
among the deputies, and a few informers,
to defraud the government by means of
illegal fees. The special agents also re
port crookedness in the office of the L nited
states Marshal for the Middle and South
ern Districts of Alabama. The deputies
robbed the government by means of false
petitions and fraudulent accounts. Not
long ago Sjieeial Agent Powers discover
ed how deputy marshals in South Caro
lina systematically defrauded the gov
ernment bv seizing “sham” stills which
they were instrumental in setting up.
The special agents haven’t made the en
tire circuit yet, and it is not improba
ble that if they do their duty, more cases
of crookedness will be reported. One of
tbe reasons that Federal officials have
been in such disfavor in the South is that
tiiev have so frequently used their offices
for private gain and without any regard
for tho rights of the people. Arrests were
made oil all sorts of lrivolous charges,
not to advance the ends of justice, but to
make fees. The Republican party has
lieen in power so long that it is rotten. Ev i
dences of its rottenness are coming to
light every day. The sentiment in favor
of a change is constantly growing stronger.

Rev. Dr. Deems tills two pages in the
Critic, of October 20th, with a defense of
the church against the charge of having
jiersecuted Galileo for his scientific opin

OSTRICHES IN FLORIDA.
Au Attempt to liaise the Giant Birds
for their Feathers In This Country.
Xeic York Sun,
A few days ago Mr. Charlton Jones, of
Sylvan Lake, Florida, left this city with
three pairs of fine ostriches, which he re
cently received from Nubia. Mr. Jones
intends to raise ostriches for their
feathers. Although the climate of Florida
is not quite like that %>f Nubia, yet he
thinks it is very probable that the giant
birds will thrive and multiply in their
new dwelling place* In different places
in North and South Africa there are many
ostrich farms, where the birds are raised
especially for their feathers. The feathers
are usually cut off only once a year, hut
ostriches which receive special care yield
annually two and even three crops of
feathers. When it is considered that os
triches live from forty to fifty years, and
that yearling birds yield marketable
feathers, it is clear that an ostrich farm
ought to lie profitable. The artificial
breeding of ostriches is perhaps the best
paving branch of aviculture. About three
years ago chicks just out of the egg were
sold at S2O to $25 apiece; at 1 month of
age they brought S3O to $35: at 6 months,
SOS to $ioo; at a year, SIOO to $l5O, and at
2 years about $250. A pair ot ostriches of
lull age—that is, 5 years old—then com
manded s3<>o to stso. But now, as the
number of ostrich farms has been greatly
increased, a pair of good ostriches can be
bought at S2OO,
The ostriches yielding the U'Kt feathers
are found in North Africa, but their num-
Ik-1 4 is rather insignificant. Since I*o2 the
ostrich farms have great multiplied in
Ca|e Colony, Natal, and the Transvaal,
countries lying at the same distance from
the equator as Florida. During the last
twenty years the number of domestic
ostriches in those countries has increased
u)i to 100,000, and their yield of feathers
amounts to about $4,500,000 worth. Egypt
raises only alsmt $1,000,000 worth of
feathers, and Algeria. Tunis and Tripoli
altogether hardly SIOO,OOO worth. True,
the ostrich feathers raised in the latter
countries are superior to those raised in
South Africa, but the difference is not
very great, and the feathers of Cape
Colony are often sold for those of Egypt.
The hatching of ostrich chicks takes
fortv-two days. The eggs are about six
inches long and five inches wide, and are
equal in bulk to twenty-rour hen eggs.
The ostrich chick in a few days reaches
the size of an ordinary hen. It iscovered
with light brown down, through which,
on the hack and wings, project black
needles like those of the hedge hog. The
chick of one month is of the size of a
turkey, and its down has begun to change
into minute feathers. The body of an
ostrich half a year old is about the size of
that of an average man. Its feathers reach
a good siz.e, but they are not cast off before
it (xecomes a yearling.
Young ostriches are usually kept sep
arate from the grow nup ones. They feed
upon grass, corn and leaves. They are
kept in small flocks of from twelve to fif
teen birds in a place surrounded by a
ditch or a fence of creeping plants. How
ever insecure the fence may be, the os
triches never attempt to pass it. It often
happens that domestic ostriches attack
men. and particularly strangers, although
in the wild state they usually shun man.
When attacking a man an ostrich strives
to strike him with its feet. Such blows
are verv dangerous. There have lieen
cases in which"the spine of a horse has
been broken by them. If a man has no
arms to defend himself, and no way of
escape, the best thing for bint to do is to
throw himself on the ground, for then the
ostrich cannot strike him a hard blow.
When enraged, however, the ostrich does
not leave its victim, but watches him un
til he rises, and then furiously renews the
attack. Under such circumstances a
man has only one means of escape,
namely, creeping to some place of safety
such as a tree, a river, or a ditch.
The tights among male ostriches are
very savage and bloody. The males
bravely defend their nests, and they sit
on the eggs from sp. m. to 8 a. m., when
the females take the post and remain on
the nest until sp. in. While on the nest
the ostrich lavs its neck on the ground,
so that an inexperienced person might
mistake it for a heap of earth. On leav
ing tho nest even domestic ostriches make
several jumps and curious motions cal
culated to mislead their enemies. In case
of danger ostriches try to hide themselv es
in bushes or behind stones. IV ild cats,
hvenas, jackals, wolves and tigers are the
enemies of ostriches in their native land.
The tricks to which these beasts resort in
order to break the ostrich eggs are well
known. Ostrich farmers usuall bait the
least with poisoned meat to save their
Florida abounds in alligators, which
are near cousins of tbe crocodile ot the
Nile. Why then may not ostriches thrive
in Florida?

MISER NEWTON OUTWITTED.
How Hi* Wife Oiarity Saved Her Kight*
on Hi* Death-Bed.
-\>tr ITatentConn. Special to X. Y. Timm.SOth.
The little hamlet of Ledyard Centre, in
this State, has lost its most important
factor in the death of John Newton. The
township embraced many of bis broad
acres, but from them the hamlet itself de
rived little benefit, as John was a miser.
The first money that he ever earned was
for chopping wood in the pine sxvamp.
The amcuut was S3O. and he immediately
put it in a bank, where it has remained
to the present dav, having increased to
$3,000. Iu shaving notes and loaning
ruonev John has accumulated a fortune
of $50,000. His residence among the rocky
hills of Ledvard Centre was simply’ a
hovel, which is on the verge of tumbling
down.
As careful a miser as John was, he w as
outwitted at last. Among the visitors at
his father’s house when he wras a young
man was a spinster named Charity Nor
mal). She was a country tailoress, and
went from house to bouse to replenish the
men’s wardrobes for the winter. John's
lather was unlike his son and loved jolly
company and good clothes, and frequently
Charity would be called upon to spruce
up his old garments and make new ones
according to tbe latest fashion. One day
"Colonel Newton,” as he was called, died
verv suddenly. Charity lent a helping
hand to John Newton, the son, in his
bereavement. Blie cooked the dinner,
made the butter, and proved such a
valuable housekeeper in every respect
that Johu was loth to part with her. He
finally persuaded her to become his vyife.
However, before the wedding day had ar
rived John suddenly changed his mind,
and tried to get rid of her. Charity
had a big brother, and to this brother
she appealed for advice. He became in
dignant. and in an interview with John
threatened many pleasant things, among
them a breach oi promise' suit, if he did
not carry out his former intentions. The
damage done to his sister’s heart he
claimed w as s*oo worth. John considered
the subject and finally concluded to save
the sDNgby marrying her, which he did.
A few when John’s life was
draw ing to*3loee, be sent for a Philadel
phia relative to whom he intended to give
his property. The relative came -and be
gan arranging matters with him. His
wife Charity learned enough fi om their
talk to convince her that certain worthless
mortgages would be given her as her
share, while the relative received the eash.
She resolved to circumvent that little
plan, and, going upstairs, she discovered
John Newton's private savings bank un
der tbe eaves in the garret. She found it
contained SOOO in gold coin, S3OO in silver,
and $27,000 in bonds and securities. She
went quietly to a lawyer in Norwich for
advice. Returning home she continued
her household duties and later visited tbe
chest in the attic, taking with her a big
dinner pot, and, raising the lid of the
chest, she transferred the contents to her
kettle and then returned to the kitchen,
placing-the treasure under the sink.
In the morning John Newton became
aware that he was dyinjx, and, wishing to
settle matters, requested that his wife go
and get his chest of money. She refused,
and in strong terms upbraided him for
trying to take away her lawluj portion.
The lawyers present became wild, as did
the relative, but to all their entreaties
she turned a deaf ear. She would not go
for the money. Asa last resort John
asked her how much she would take to
relinquish all claims to the property, aud
she promptly replied SIO,UW in cash. The
papers were drawn up and duly signed,
whereupon Charity produced the kettle
and jmured out the contents before their
astonished gaze. The SIO,OOO was count
ed out and paid her, and hardly had the
will been signed before John Newton
breathed his last.

Henry Murray and wife, well-dressed
colored citizens, presented themselves to
an usher at a Chicago theatre Thursday
evening, having In hand the coupons tor

in short order with two "unbroken” cou
pons and a half-dollar, which he slipped
into Murray’s hand. The couple were

Jfcssr*. Editor .—
The above Is a good likeness of Mrs. Lydia E. rink,
ham, of Lynn, Mass., who above alt other human beingi
may be truthfully called the “Dear Friend of Woman,’
as some of her correspondents love to call her. Bh<
Is zealously devoted to her work, which Is the outcome
of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady
assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence
which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its special
burden of suffering, or Joy at release from It. Hei
Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not
evil purpose*. I have personally investigated it am)
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On account of its proven merits, it Is recommended
and prescribed by the best physicians in the country.
One says! “It works like a charm and saves much
pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling
of the uterus, Leucorrluea, irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con
sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to
tbe Change of Ufe.”
It permeates every portion of the system, and gives
new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency,
destroys all craving for stimulant?, and relieves weak
ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches,
Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness,
Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing
down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always
permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and
under all circumstance?, act in harmony with the law
that governs the female system.
It costs only $L per bottle or six for $5., and is sold by
druggists. Any advice required as to special. -ses, and
the names of many who have been restored to perfect
health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be
obtained by addressing Mrs. P., w ith stamp for reply,
at her home in Lynn, Mass.
For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound it
unsurpassed ss abundant testimonials show.
“Mrs. Plnkhaiu's Liver Fills,” says one writer, “are
the beet in the world for the cure ot Constipation,
Biliousness and Torpidity of tho liver. Her Blood
Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fail
to equal the Compound la Its popularity.
All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose sok
ambition is to do good to others:
