enthusiastic demonstration by the anti-
Cuatom House Republicans last night,
headed by Capt. L. M. Pleasant and Col.
A. N". Wilson, of the revenue office, and
Col. E. C. Wade, Deputy United States

the followers of that wing of the
party and a great deal of enthusiasm
was displayed. The meeting was pre
sided over by Joseph Williams, who an
nounced that it had been called to ratify
the action of the Brunswick convention.
Colonel Wilson addressed the gathering
and was supported by Colonel Wade,
Captain Pleasant and Cyrus L. Brown, all
of whom severely criticised the action of
the Custom House wing and dwelt upon
the alleged unfaithfulness ot its leaders.
During the meeting flaming posters were
circulated denouncing the faction in the
strongest language.
••The Ou*** > n\s Lace Handkerchief.**
A good audience witnessed the second

excellent—was tin* verdict last night.
One of the finest vocal efforts iu the
opera is at the close of the second act.
when a magnificent double quartett,
chorus and orchestra, produces an inspir
ing effect that called for loud and pro
longed applause. The curtain was rung
up at the end of each act in response to
repeated applause. The company will

WORKING FOR TEMPERANCE.
Third Anniversary Celebration of the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union
Last Night— Interesting Report* ofthe
Officer*— I The Anniversary Address-
Election of Officers.
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union of Savannah celebrated its third
anniversary w ith interesting exercises at
Wesley Monumental Church last night.
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. W. M. Hayes, pastor of the
church, and singing by the choir and the
children of the Band of Hope. The Presi
dent, Mrs. Richard Webb! then read the
President’s report for the year past, which
was listened to with closest attention by
those present:
hadie * and Gentlemen and Belated Friend•
a.id Co-workers:
Three years ago this very 4lh of April llie
Woman’s Christian Temperance l nion was
organized bv the National President of the
Union. Miss "Frances E. Willard,in the lecture
room of the Independent Presbyterian
Church. During these three years we have
uuie’lv. persistently, aimed at arresting
thought ou the sin of the day, “Interaper-
Ruee,” and its remedy—Total Abstinence.
The removal of the stain of intem
perance is the object of the Woman 8 Chris
tian Temperance Union. The badge
of our Georgia Uuion 'designed
i by a Georgia lady is three concentric twigs.
1 < hristianitv and Temperance is written on
' the tao outside twigs, W. C.T. U. on a rib
bon passing through them and G. 11. and N.
beneath, which, interpreted, means “We
Come To Unite" Christianity andTemperauce
for “God and Home and Native Land,” and
with this motive in our hearts we have met
weekly, and during ihe past year, without a
single intermission, even during the summer
heat. Perhaps the consciousness of our weak
ness as feeble women, without any adequate
forces to oppose the tremendous power of the
drink habit, has kept us more prayerful and
more careful to keep our eyes fixed steadily
and only on our glorious Leader, who will
lead us in His own time and way on to victo
ry. We liegin all our meetings w ith read
ing of the Word and Prayer, and de
sign fur the future to hold a consecration
meeting with Bible reading prepared by Mrs.
H. W. .smith. Superintendent of the Evangel
istic Department of our National Union, the
first Friday in every month, and we now cor
dially invite any ladies present to come to
thede meetings, whether members of our Union
or not.
In our plans for work we have copied our
State and National Unions in having depart
ments of work:
Scientific Temperance Instruction—Miss 1,.
Miller.
Sunday School Work—Mrs. Wilbur.
Juvenile Work—Mrs. Webb.
Temperance Literature—Mrs. Morris.
Pri.-on and Jail—Mrs. R. I>. Walker and
Mrs. C. L. Gilbert.
To Secure the Use of Unfermeoted Wine at
the Lord’s Table—Mrs. Walker.
Gospel Temperance Work—Mrs. Ford.
To Procure Statistics and Facts—Mrs.
Bates.
One year siuce we organized a Y. W. C. T.
U., hut from the sickness and absence of its
appointed President the Union failed to set to
work, hut to-day we have reorganized, and
have despoiled ourselves of a valued worker
t > lead our younger sisters on in that special
line of work they can so much more effective
ly do than we, viz.: the rescuing of our young
men from the allurements of billiard Halls
and drinking saloons by the meaus of month
ly sociables, where entertainments of a pure
and healthy tone will demonstrate
that pleasure can be found without the in
toxicating cup or the game of chance; and
maybe not a few may be won by listening to
the recitation from some brave,sweet girl, that
"The lips that touch liquor shall never touch
mine,” to break the bondage of custom and
habit and obey the Scriptural injunction to
“Look uot upon the wine when it is red.when
it givclh his color in the cup;” when
it movetU itself aright so that they may
never personally experience the fact that
at last it lutcth like a serpent and stingeth
like an adder. God grant that our fair
Southern lands may he delivered from the
cruel bondage of the Prince of the Power of
the Air, and array themselves on the side of
right, tor God and Home and Native Laud.
At the conclusion of the President’s re
port the Corresponding Secretary’s report
was read by Miss L. Miller, as follows:
The Women's Christian Temperance Union
of .savauuah was organized in April, 18*1,
and lias held meetings every week, without
iuterini—ion. during the past year, always
opening with prayer and the reading of
scripture, followed" hv a series of readings on
tin* scientific investigation of the effects of
alcohol iu beer. A synopsis of these readings
have frequently been published.
The women of this Union are working for
God and home in every way that presents it
self. Though no great work has been done
during the past twelvemonths, it lias been the
means of reforming severabdruukanls. and,
if nothing else had been accomplished, the
homes thus rescued from wretchedness would
repay all lalior.
1 here have been held quite a number of pub
lic meetings, w hich have brought the subject
before the people, thus helping to create inter
est in the cause, and the future history of
these reports will prove the growing appreci
ation of our women’s work. Our temperance
literature has been distributed on all conveni
ent occasions, iu the form of leaflets and
tract- The pecuniary needs of the society
have been provided for chiefly by its member
ship. The collections taken up at the public
meetings being barely sufficient to defray the
expenses of the hall, thanks arc tendered to
the many kind friends who have helped the
society in various ways. During the summer
a series of meetings were conducted by Mrs.
Lord, who has charge of the Gospel Temper
ance work. This is anew feature to us, an un
usual departure—for a woman to address a
religion- meeting—but if prompted by the
spirit why should it not he the work of woman
to aid in the spread of the Go-pel of Christ*
After the reports had been read Rev.
\V. M. Hayes addressed the Union upon
the evils ol intemperance, picturing the
vice in all its degrading phases. His
address occupied an hour, and was filled
with anecdotes and narratives,which held
the undivided attention of his hearers to
the close.
He was followed by Rev. Richard
Webb, who urged the necessity of tem
perance and prohibition. At the conclu
sion of the addresses the President intro
duced the “Band of Hope,” a children’s
organization under the auspices of the
Union. Several songs were sung and
the ladies were invited to enroll
their names as active members of
the Union, and gentlemen as honorary
members. After remarks by several
members present the benediction was
pronounced and the audience dismissed.
At the business meeting of the Union
the following officers for the ensuing year
were elected:
President—Mrs. Richard Webb.
Vice Presidents—Catholic Church, Mrs.
Keddis; St. John’s Church, Mrs. DuPont:

THE OGLETHORPE BARRACKS.
Meeting of the Purchasers to Arrange
for Receiving Titles from the Gov
ernment.
A meetingof the subscribers to the fund
with which to purchase Oglethorpe Bar
racks was held yesterday afternoon at
Metropolitan Hall, Capt. D. G. Purse.
Chairman, presiding, andMaj. A. L. Har
fridge, Secretary.
The Chairman stated that the object ot
the meeting was to arrange for paying for
the property and taking titles to it.
Capt. John M. Guerard stated that un
der the decision of the Secretary of War
it was necessary that the titles be made
to Capt. W. G. Raoul, to whom the prop
erty was knocked down at the sale. Capt.
Guerard explained that Capt. Raoul
would thereupon make a title to the
trustees.
The Treasurer, Capt. Blun, made a
statement of the amount of money col
lected from subscribers, from which it
appeared that eighty-four subscribers had
paid their 1 per cent, and sixteen had not
paid. Out of this number he expected to
collect from eleven, leaving five subscrip
tions doubtful. A lengthy discussion
took place as to what was best to be done
in view of this deficiency.
Gen. Lawton offered the following reso
lution, which was seconded and unani
mous!*- adopted:
lie-solved, That the trustees be instruct
ed and directed to enforce the payment of
delinquencies, and that they be empower
ed to perfect the purchase, and raise any
money necessary lor that purpose: anil
further, that the" titles be drawn in the
t rms of the resolution passed at the
meeting held November 20, ISB4.
The meeting then adjourned.

VOLCANOES IN THE MOON.
Strange Phenomena Seen on tlie Face of
the Lunar Crescent—A Lofty Moun
tain Standing Out from the Surface of
the Queen of Night.
For a long time the astronomers have
noticed changes going on upon the face
of the moon. Bright spots that had
previously been seen and delineated iu
drawings and photographs of the earth’s
satellite were found to have disappeared,
and other bright spots were found to have
developed in localities where there
had been previously black expanses.
The astronomers tell us that the
bright spots seen on the face ot the
moon are the summits of mountains
illuminated by the sun, which is
Ssinir.tr upon them, while the great dark
splotches are simply deep valleys shaded
from the light by surrounding and over
hanging mountains. These theories of
the earlier astronomers have been estab
lished to he facts by the researches ot
modern science, armed with the far-reach
ing telescopes that h .ve made the ex
ploration of the beayenly bodies so preg
nant with importance and so fruitful of
astonishiug results. There is no doubt
that the side of the moon which is turned
toward the earth is studded with mouu
taius of great height and magnitude,
standing in profound valleys and tra
versed by canyons or delta of enormous
depth.
The volcanic character of the lunar
mountains is unmistakable. All the crust
of the earth’s satellite is honeycombed
with craters, and the volcanic ac’tipn has,
some time or other, been astonishingly
energetic and widespread.
There are mountains on the moon as
much as 20,000 feet above the surrounding
country, and they are much more than
that above a low datum line like the line
of the sea, but no sea is visible in tlid
moon.
The moon has been called a dead star,
but if its internal fires can give it any
claims to life it is certainly a living
corpse. The signs of a renewal of vol
canic action, which began to be discussed
a century ago, are now not merely scien
tific nuts to be cracked, by the astrono
mers, but they are facts for the people.
In 1787 Sir William Herschel declared
that he had seen through his powerful
telescope three volcanoes in a state of
eruption iu different parts of the moon,
lie had seen new mountains heaved up
out of the dark valleys. His announce
ments were met with incredulity and the
matter passed from notice; but in 1860
I)r. Schmidt, at Athens, announced that
the lunar mountain Linne, in whose sum
mit was a crater five miles in diameter,
had disappeared from the face of the
moon, and the fact was soon after sub
stantiated by the eminent Father Seechi
at Rome and was acknowledged by as--
tronomers at various other points.
Since tben these changes in the pimples,
so to speak, on the face of the moon, have
beeu more and more frequent, indicating
that the internal life of the so-called dead
planet has again been revived and is in
vigorous operation; but nobody was pre
pared for the astonishing changes that
have taken place on that wonderful
planet in the past week while it was in
its fourth quarter out of sight.
Signs of peculiar and decisive changes
have been observed on the slender cres
*cent ofthe present new moon. An astron
omer within the past week claims to have
discovered something unusual going on
in the great peak of Tycho Brahe, a big
mountain which has always been a prom
inent object on the eastern side of the
moon. Tycho is a volcanic crater, nearly
20,000 feet high and fifty miles in diame
ter. and it had up to within a few days a
peak a mile high, standing in this crater.
This peak which was only a bright spot
in the midst of a black crater, has sud
denly grown to be a gigantic mountain,
nearly filling the entire basin of the cra
ter, and towering above every other
mountain on the moon. It is estimated
now to be about nine miles high and
promises some’startling phenomena.

A Country Cousin’s Lament.
It has always been a source of great
pleasure to your correspondent, as well
as to many others of your country cousins,
while in your beautiful city, to stroll
through that magnificent spot, Forsyth
Park. Here 1 have with delight witnessed
rich and poor, blooming youth and de
crepit age mingling freely and enjoying
with myself that perfect retirement and
seclusion from the noisy, busy marts of
your flourishing city. I have also marked
with gratification the pleasure expressed
by Northern tourists on listening to the
music of your rustic fountain and admir
ing the beauty of your shrubs and flowers,
but the most attractive of all its attrac
tive features to me was watching the
groups of lovely children congregating
there, every countenance beaming with
life, happiness and unmixed joy. Such
innocence, so much loveliness, made your
prized park as near paradise as any
thing earthly can ever reach. I am at a
loss for words to express my chagrin
and mortification on a recent visit to
these lovely grounds. My attention was
arrested by'discordant, hideous sounds to
the west end. and, oh! what a change. It
reminded me of the dumping ground of
some large city, with buzzards infesting
the grass plats, walks, fences, and even
the very air. Can it be possible that the
working men, the business men of your
city unable to afford the luxury of car
riages whereby to give fresh air to their
families, and whose mothers, wives, sis
ters, sweethearts and children have here
tofore enjoyed the pleasure and delights
and health-giving influences of these
charming grounds; can it be possible that
they will permit these promenades of inno
cence and virtue to be taken possession of
by those who destroy it as a place of re
sort bv their foul and blasphemous utter
ances? A Country Cousin.

MARRIED TO A CORPSE.
A Woman Wedded to a Dead Soldier to
Obtain His Pension Money.
Samuel B. Robbins moved in the little
village of Appleton fifty-one years ago,
says an Augusta (Me.) special to the
Philadelphia Press. He served bravely
in the civil war, and received wounds
which entitled him to a pension. For six
years he has lived with his brother Noah.
Last July he began to fail rapidly, and a
month ago it was evident he could live
only a short time. If be died his pension
money would be lost, for his wife was
d“ad and he had no children. In this
emergency it was decided that a wife
must be obtained for the dying soldier.
In Rockland was found a woman who,
under the circumstances, was willing to
become a wife and widow in quick suc
cession. February 26 the bans were
published. The law in Maine requires
five days’ notice before the marriage.
March 2 Robbins fell into a comatose con
dition and did not recover his senses be
fore he died, March 4. It is said that
when ’Squire l’ease, the pension agent,
learned how near dissolution Robbins was
he sent post-haste to lUickland for the bride
he and Noah had selected. Unhappily,
the woman did uot arrive till midnight,
nine hours after Robbins’ death.
The woman was hurriedly takeu to the
chamber where Robbins lay dead, aDd the
mockery of a marriage ceremony
between the living woman and the corpse
was gone through with. Pease's son took

THE P. O. DEPARTMENT.
Annual Readjustment of the Salaries of
Postmasters—A Hie Salary Grab.
The annual readjustment of the salaries
of Postmasters for the next fiscal vear
has begun at the Post Office Department, I
says a Washington special of the 2d.
Tlie salaries of 2.405 Presidential Post
masters will be adjusted on returns for the
quarter elided March 31. The adjustment
takes effect July 1. The department
is about to begin an
and review of the claims of Post
masters for the readjustment of
their salaries for the period between the
years 1864 and 1874, in accordance with
the provisions of the act of March 3, 1883.
Circular letters are being sent to all per
sons who were Postmasters during that
period, or their heirs, calling for intorma
ttion concerning their claims, but it is
stated at. the department that further
progress in the cases is not possible unless
Congress makes provision for at least
twenty additional clerks. There are
many" thousands of claims covering
periods of from one to ten years, and the
postal officials say the enormous sum of
$50,000,000 will he required to pay them.

Time to Stop It. *
It’s too bad, Sir or Madam, but don’t
get frightened. Your hair is falling off—
that's certain. A glance in the mirror,
or an investigating committee of fingers
tell the dismal story. We won’t discuss
the possible cause. It is enough that
Parker’s Hair Balsam used now will pre
vent further destruction. Is your hair
somewhat gray, too, and crisp? Alas,
yes. The Balsam will give back the ori
ginal color, softness and gloss. Not a
dye, not oily, elegantly perfumed, a per
fect dressing.

Mr. W. R. Robison, Davisboro, Ga.,
writes, under date Jan. 3, 1884: “I am
getting on finely, the ulcer is gradually
healing, 1 teel that Swift’s Specific will
cure the horrible cancer which has been
feeding on me tor over 20 years.”
Mr. O. G. Barron, of -Banning, Ga.,
writes, dated March 3, 1884: “The sore
ness has all gone out of the Cancer, and

The wonder of those who go to the Har

can be offered to the public at such mini

table of the Harnett is as good as that of
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatmeut makes

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
ferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, allays
all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known remedy lor
diarrhoea, whether arising from teething
or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.— Adv.
