annual trade review
FOR THE
FALL OF 1884.
THE MORNING NEWS
Mammoth Trade Edition
WILL BE ISSUED
MONDAY, SEPT. 1.
The Annual Trade Renew of the btsmeae of
Savannah and the South during the commer
cial year now about closing will he issued
try the Morning Sews on Monday Sept. 1.
Xhis edition will be printed on a mammoth
sheet. 38x52, and will be, as all previous edi
tions have been, a credit to Savannah.
In addition to a complete review of the
business of Savannah, all its
branches, and a resume of its commercial and
ahippitg news, it will also give a general out
ine of the trade of the country.
This edition will be a paper which every
eitiien will take a pride in sending abroad to
r iends and correspondents, as an evidence of
the prosperity of his home, and will give te
those receiving copies of it an accurate idea of
the importance of Savannah as a place of busi
ness.
The outlook is excellent tor an'active and
healthy fall and winter business. The
stringency of the money market for months
pas; has compelled purchasers to limit their
demand. The sale of the new crop, however,
will relieve the money pressure and bring
l nto market cash buyers. The Trade Review
affords an unsurpassed opportunity for our
merchants to address buyers of Georgia and
Florida, people who do most of their trading
with Savannah and look to the Morning
News for information.
In addition to being sent to every reader of
t he Daily Morning News. The Trade Re
view will be mailed to every subscriber to the
Savannah Weeely News, which editions,
with copies sent by advertisers, will give this
issue an aggregate
Circulation of 20.000t0 25.000 Copies,
An advertisement in the columns of the
Trade Renew will be a direct solicitation
from the merchant to the buyer, and cannot
fail to be of benefit.
Advertisements must be sent in by Satur
day noon. Aug. 30.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
NOVELTIES IX STORE FX>R THE
AMUSEMENT PUBLIC.
How the Dramatic Business it Affected
by the Pre-idential Campaign—Man
ager -Johnson's Attractions for the
Coming Season.
In spite of its being Presidential year,
and the gloomy prognostications of some
managers, there are already many theat
rical Richmonds in the field ready to brave
the wayward fancy of the public. The
season in Savanuah opens two weeks
later than last year. The first gun in
the tfeespian campaign will be fired on
Wednesday, Sept. 17. by Santley's Nov
elty Specialty Company.
Manager Johnson has already booked
over forty attractions, among them some
of the most famous celebrites on the
stage. ‘‘The theatrical outlook," he said
to a Morning Nzrvs representative yes
terday as they were chatting about affairs
in the Nortb."“is not as bright as in past
seasons. Managers fear the present
political campaign, and numbers of them
will not start their organizations on the
road until after the November election.
Political excitement, you know, is almost
death to the theatre. Indications all
point to brisk times in the middle and
latter part of the season, and things will
be sufficiently lively then to make up for
any deficiency in the opening part. Several
largeopera companies are being organized
to go out after November, and besides,
•some of the stars now in Europe will be
back and take the road. However, there
will be enough companies to brave the
political excitement. I have booked
strongly for October and November. But
then, you know, we are not worried here
in the - uta with torchlight processions,
and the active managers head this way
early in the season.”
••Here are some of the attractions now on
my hooks: Gus Williams, Neil Burgess
in ‘Vim,* C. B. Bishop, Madison Square
Company. ‘Separation.* Lizzie May Ul
mer, Hidden Hand. Barlow A Wilson's
Minstrels. Denier’s Humpty Pumpty.
Leavitt's Burlesque Company. Devil's
Auction Opera. Madison square "Rajah."
Bertha Welby. Thatcher. Primrose A
West. 'Buneh'of Keys.' Patti Rosa, Juve
nile Mift.xion Minstrel*. Romany Rye.
Barney McAuley, Madison Square t new
play . Abbie Carrington's Opera. T. B.
Aldrich in Mv Partner, Peck's Bad Boy.
John T. Raymond. Mile. Rhea. Madame
Tbeo's Opera. Scanlan's Friend and Foe,
Bijou Burlesque Company. Young Mrs.
Vfinthrop. Planter's Wife"(Harrv Lacy),
New York Opera Company. Milton No
bles. Silver King. Count of Monte Christo.
"Ford's Opera Company, the NewYork
Opera Company, which sang the 'Queen's
Lace Handkerchief* last season, and the
Hess Opera Company are the only comic
operas yet booked.
••I have, as you can see by my date
book, all the plays from the Madison
square Theatre. ’ Three of these will
be their new successes, among them the
now famous ‘May Blossoms' and "Called
Back.* which had such a run in London.
There will also be the old favorites, *Mrs.
Winthrop’ and ‘The Rajah.’ The only
grand opera tr upe booked so far is Miss
Abbott's company, which will be the
strongest in talent and numbers she has
ever taken out. In the cast is Campobel
lo, the well-known baritone. The selec
tions for Miss Abbott’s performances
have not been made. Among the operas
mentioned, however, is ‘Heart and Hand,'
which the Abbott troupe gives superbly.
••C. B. B.shop will bring anew play.
Tony Denier, who missed savannah last
year, comes with a well organized
Humptv Dumpty Company. The Bertha
Welby Combination comes in October*
Thatcher, Primrose A West are also
booked for October. They bring Banks
Winter, whose song this' visit will be
‘Pretty Pond Lilies.* Patti Rosa will
come with a semi-opera combination.
The humorous "Bunch of Keys" that gave
such a roar of fun last season will come
again. One of the greatest attractions
will be Aimee. It will be her first appear
ance. I believe, in Savannah. She appears
in a musical comedy, written especially for
her. Lizzie May Ulmer has made a gre;:t
success with her new piece, ‘Dad's Girl.’ ;
She will pay Savannah a visit.’
“Among the star attractions will be
Fanny Davenport, whose appearance here
in 'Fedora' last season packed the Thea
tre. Lotta will be here the same favorite
she is everywhere. All the wiles of Eng
land have tailed In estranging the little
American comedy diva from her old
friend, the public of the United States,
and ae leaves Liverpool for home on Aug.
27, on the steamer America. Although
two or three of her company at the
Comique in London will accompany her.
the bulk of her support during her tour
through the States this season will be
Americans. She will begin a season of
four weeks in Philadelphia on Oct. 13 in
*Ni touche.’
“ 'The leaves fall and Keene come
to Savannah,’ the famous tragedian re
marked a year ago, meaning that he
visited Savannah every season. He will
be here two or three nights. John
T. Raymond will bring his new play. -For
Congress,' which he presented just after
his visit here last season. Clara Morris
will be among the strong attractions too.
There is a great desire here. I believe, to
6ee this prominent American actress, and
notwithstanding the difficulty I have had
in I have succeeded in doing
so. She ought certainly to draw as well
as Booth, for she does it everywhere
else. Tnere will also be a lady who
created a very pleasing impression last
season—M'lle Rhea. She is under the
management of Mr. James W. Morrissey,
who started Emma Abbott on her suc
cessful career, a competent
manager will leave nothing undone to
makelier engagement a success.
“Another attraction still is 'Nordeck,'
said to almost equal 'Fedora' in interest,
with Frank Mayo and Henrietta Vaders
in the principal parts. It will be pro
duced with new costumes and a most
brilliant stage setting. Later on will be
hartley Campbell’s hew and successful
'Separation,’ with the Union
s hare an tl scenery. Modjeska will
alio he her.' **T ain ' There art man y
companies to >*, a -'-U= I be
fore, managers he! ,ltate to fix their routes
until the election agnation is over. Tak
ing everything into consideration though
I think the season will be a s'**' S fotorv
one to both management public ”
Tin and Sheet Ir- ~ ..
„n Worker and Stencil
Tv Cutter.
-e Morning News has already an
nounced the opening of Mr. P. H. Kier
nan in the business of tin and sheet iron
worker and stencil cutter on Abereorn
street and Bay lane. Mr. Kieman has
had an experience of over sixteen years
in the tin and sheet iron business, and
has been for the past eight years fore
man for Crawford & Lovell. In
addition to the ample facilities
he will have for all branches of business,
he will make a specialty of cutting sten
cils and brands for cotton merchants, na
val store dealers and lumber men. He
has also special facilities as a jobbing
tinsmith. Mr. Kiernan is a young man
of extensive acquaintance, favorably
known, and has every opportunity for a
successful business career. The MORN
ING News wishes him abundant success.
BreTltiea.
Six "drunks” were disposed of in the
Police Court yesterday. Four were fined
and two discharged.
Five arrests for drunkenness and disor
derlv c onduct were reported at the police
barracks last night. Of this number two
were wnite men and three negroes.
Quite a number of persons were yester
day admiring two handsomely colored
photographs, 16 by 30 inches in size, of
Sliss Lenore Gordon Hussey in the char
acters of “Gloster” and “Julie de Morti
mer,” at Ryan's gallery. The coloring
was executed by Mr. Ryan in person.
Messrs. Butler & Stevens received their
second bale of new cotton yesterday from
Capt. Wm. H. Briggs, of Valdosta. It
was closed good middling, full staple.
This is the first bale received at Val
dosta. the third in Savannah, and the
finest in quality yet seen of the new crop.
Messrs. Syberg-Petersen & Cos. cleared
yesterdav the Norwegian brig Living
stone, lor Glasgow, with 1,282 barrels spir
its turpentine, measuring 65,793 gallons,
valued at $19,653 45. Cargo by Chess-
Carley Cos. This vessel has been in
port onlv four days and was loaded in
fifteen hours. This is an evidence of the
quick disj*tch afforded vessels at this
port.
The customs officials have received
orders from the Treasurv Department to
regard all vessels from English ports as
•Suspected” vessels and liable to quaran
tine on account of the prevalence of Eng
lish cholera. This order is in addition to
that recently issued respecting vessels
from the Mediterranean and French porta.
Vessels regarded as “suspected” are
liable to quarantine until boarded by the
Health Officer.

FIERCE-CHAMBERS.
The Benefit Performance by the Fords
To-morrow Night.
The rehearsals of Miss Pierce's new
play to be presented by the Fords to-mor
row night at the Pierce-Chambers benefit
assure a performance equal to any that
the association has ever given. The
Morning News gave the plot of the play
yesterday. It is a farcical comedy in
three acts, after the order of “Freaks” and
“A Bunch of Keys,” with opportunities
for the display of" a variety of specialtv
acting. The cast includes Miss Pierce
and Miss Chambers in the leading roles,
supported by nearly the entire strength
of the association. The sale of seats
already indicates that the Opera House
will be packed.
Miss Pierce, during her two seasons en
gagement with the Fords, has deservedly
become a favorite with the Savannah
amusement public. Of her acting it is
.unnecessary to speak. The public has
had every opportunity to judge for itself.
Miss Chambers, although she has been
engaged but a part of the season, has re
ceived more favor, probably, than any
actress ever received here iii so short a
time.
The performance to-morrow night
affords the citizens an opportunity to
show their appreciation of the services
that both ladies have rendered the Fords
and the entertainment they have afforded
the amusement public.

A negro named Ellison Williams was
arrested in the eastern portion of the city
last night for walking about the streets in
a frenzied manner aDd shouting at the
top of his voice and throwing away his
clothing. It was at first thought that the
man was drunk, but later he showed un
mistakable evidence of insanity. He
struggled with the arresting officers,
fancving that they intended to either
drown or kill him. He was finally secured
in a wagon and placed in a cell in a nude
condition, where he continued to shout
until after midnight.

rounded by the Widow. SocletT—The
Idea of it. Benefactor Nobly Carried
Out—A Charity t'rffanUed Slxty-
Two Year. Old—History of the Work
lt ha. Aceomplt.hed.
Over sixty-two years ago several ladles
of Savannah, without regard to religious
sect, conceived the idea of formtng them
selves into an association for the relief of
poor widows. On January 1,1822, au or
ganization was perfected by the elec
tion of a board of directresses,
twenty-four in number. The for
.mal institution of the association took
place on the 9th of April of the *ame year.
The society entered upon its work with
no large sum of money at its credit with
which to second the individual efforts of
its members, but the devotion of the
ladies to their mission soon commanded
the cordial support ot the people of differ
ent religious views who contributed in
one way or another to assist the under
taking.
JOINING OF TllK OKKKPS.
At that time the respective denomina
tions had no church societies of their own
engaged in a similar work, and they illus
trated their charity by uniting in a work
of which the ladies of the Widows* So
ciety were the leading and honored re
presentatives.
lt would be a simple act of justice to
these good women if the roll of the mem
bers of the society in those days could l>e
published, lt would show how Israelite
and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant.were
combined in one sisterhood to succor
the widow and to alleviate the pain or
lighten the sorrows which too frequently
are the accompaniments of declining
years.
THE KAUI.T RECORDS DESTROYED.
The roll is, however, inaccessible from
the fact that the records of the society were
stored in Mrs. Cumming’s residence dur
ing the war. where some of the soldiers
in Gen. Howard's command seized and
wantonly destroyed them.
One or two books were fortunately
overlooked, which contain the monthly
statements of the Treasurer, from 1822 to
1829, inclusive. Duringtbis period Mrs.
B. C. Robertson was Treasurer, with T
Barron acting as Treasurer pro tem. for
a short time in 182.8. These statements
show that the society was continuing
in its good work from month to month
and year to year, with a small balance
ever in the Treasury.
It had no large structure for the
accommodation of the widows in its
charge, but owned here and there about
the city small houses in which homes
were furnished, and where the necessi
ties of the beneficiaries were supplied.
One of these houses 4*as on the southeast
corner of South Broad and Habersham
streets, and is still standing. The build
ings were sold a year or two ago, though
the society several years previous had
moved those under its care to the struc
ture now known as
THE ABRAHAMS’ HOME.
i Among the zealous members of the so
! ciety during the early years ofitsexist
i ence was Mrs. Dorothea Abrahams, widow
ofCapt, Abrahams de Lyon Abrahams. She
was a lady of great beauty, and
: to the influence of her pres
ence were added the accomplishments
due to a superior education. She had in
; herited wealth, and her late husband was
also in affluent circumstances. During
her experience as a member of the society
she conceived the idea of leaving a sum
lof money at her death sufficient
to erect a commodious structure
on her property on the corner of Brough
ton anil East Broad streets. She referred
to the subject in the presence of one or
two of her immediate personal friends,
and fully explained what she thought
should l>e the conditions under which
widows should be admitted to the insti
tution. so that when her will
was formally opened, after her death,
some of the members of the society un
derstood how to interpret its provisions
relative to the particular bequest.
A GENEROUS BENEFACTRESS.
She directed her executor, Mr. Jacob
DeLamotta, after executing certain lega
cies. to turn over the residue of her es
tate to the Widow’s Society for
the purpose of erecting a home for
widows of any sect or nationality, and
she expressly’charged that no children
should ever be permitted to reside at the
Home.
Miss Susan C. Tufts, who has been the
Treasurer of the society for forty years,
stated to a reporter of the Morning
News that, as near as she could
recollect, the amount expended
in the erection of the edifice was from
$16,000 to $20,000. The work was begun
under the superintendence of a Northern
architect named Norris in the year 1857,
and was completed on Friday, Sept. 3,
1858. It was formally turned over to the
society on Oct. 7, 1858, to the Board of
Directresses, who at that time were as
follows:
OFFICERS.
First Directress—Mrs. John G. Jack
son.
Second Directress—Mrs. Joseph Bur

By resolution of the society, the new
institution was named “The Abrahams
Home” in grateful tribute to the memory
of the deceased benefactress. The lot on
which it stands has a front of 120 feet on
Broughton street and a depth of 90 feet on
East Broad street. The structure, how
“a 9,1 ■< <>““ '
J;. - '' 111 of brick, three stories in
on a basement.
THE HOME AND ITS SURROUNDINGS.
A spacious yard, planted in shrubbery
and enclosed by a brick wall, occupies
the remainder of the lot. The basement
is divided into a kitchen and store
rooms. The first floor is divided by
two halls, each about 6 feet in width,
one leading across the structure from
the main" entrance on Broughton
street tQ the rear, and the other
leading from the east to the
7<tst end of the building, and intersecting
the main passageway at the centre of the
edifice. There are on this floor a large
diningroom, with dumb-waiter leading
into ' the kitchen, a storeroom,
a matron’s room, and six rooms
for the accommodation of the inmates of
the institution. The second floor is divided
into eleven rooms, one of which is used as
a reception room, chapel and a meeting
room for the board.
The third floor is divided into twelve
rooms of a uniform 6ize. All the
apartments are comfortably fur
nished, the majority of them
by tne aged occupants according as
their means or fancy dictates.
SOME OF THE INMATEafhr*
The reporter who visited the-fl tot saw
a number of ladies who wnt i over
three score years and ten. Two !?<* been
in the Home over twenty-three years.
Two are over SO years old, one
being 86 and the other 87 years.
Of the thirty-two now there the majority
are able to walk up and down stairs,
while many go out and earn small sums
of money by mending linen or doing other
light work" during the day, always re
turning to the Home by nightfall.
The Home furnishes fuel, light and
food and other necessaries only at an aver
age cost of something less than S2OO per
month. Some months the expenses are
not much over $l3O.
THE BILL OF FARE.
Three meals are supplied daily, consist
ing of tea, coffee, hominy, cold meats, eggs,
two kinds of bacon, and bread and butter
for breakfast; two kinds of fresh meat,
including poultry, two kinds of bacon,
vegetables, and bread and butter for din
ner, and tea, coffee, cold meats and bread
and butter for supper. *
All the food is prepared in a superior
manner by the Matron. Mrs. Davis, who
has been in the Home for a number of
years, and keeps the storeroom, kitchen
and other rooms as clean "as
wax.” Since the Home was erected it has
had but four or five matrons, a fact which
signifies that the ladies who baTe held the
office for such long term3 satisfactorily
discharged their duties, the rule being
that when a matron cannot fill the posi
tion properly another shall succeed her.
Some of the inmates have selected the
institution as a home, not from necessity
but fr om choice, but all are obliged to ob
serve the rules. Those who are too feeble
to take their meals in the diningroom are
served in their own apartments by the
Matron.
THB HOME MANAGEMENT.
The first Directress of the Home at pres
ent is Mrs. J. TV. l.athrop. She is very
efficiently seconded in her administration
of its affairs bv Mrs. M. Brown, the Sec
retary; Miss Ptisan C. Tufts, the Treasu
rer, and the neml>ors of the board, now
twenty-four in number, two of the latter
being selected in turn to serve together as
visiting members for one month. In this
way the members of the board each
devote one month during the year to the
inspection of the institution and in per
sonally ascertaining the needs of the in
mates'. There are tew institutions which
do more good in a quiet way than this,
and it merits the generous support of
every liberal hearted citizen.
THE MELON QUESTION.
llow Many will the North Need If tt
Takes AH the South Can Send ?
Editor Morning Net cs: The Hartford
(Conn.) Times says: “All the people of
the North are willing to take all the
melons the South will send, and at fair
rates.’’ In the North there are nearly
40,000,000 of people. Let us say that one
fourth of them, including our patrons ot
the bonier Southern States, will buy just
one melon each every day for one month
•at the opening of our early melon season.
This would require 10,000.000 per day, or
300.000.00 1 ' for that one mouth. AVhat
proportion > t this supply does
Southern Georgia raise? The late
crops of that section was planted for the
aggregate of “three thousand car loads.”
It fell short “one-half,” they say, but sup
pose the crops have been full. A car
load is 1,000 melons, which would have
made the crop 3,000,000. or less than one
third of one day's supply. In other
words, all Southern Georgia, if they had
made a full crop, would not have fur
ished one melon each for one-fourth of
their Northern customers. Does" this look
like overstocking the market ? Why, there
are millions of ‘people in th? North who
have not yet seen a Southern melon, and
would not know thev came there but for
the city journals. I think it safe to say
that ail the Georgia and Florida melon
growers combined do not ship during
the season a single day’s supply for one
fourth of their customers North, to say
nothing of the large number to be sup
plied before they get there. Aud yet we
have been talking about the melon’ trade
as being a ~ “tremendous thing.”
Only think of it. If we were to produce
one day’s ration for one-fourth of the
Northern people all our railroads com
bined could not furnish cars enough to
transport the crop. What would we do
then with thirty days’ rations, or 300,-
000,000? Georgia is the Era: ire State of
the South, with a little over 37.000,000
acres of land, and it would require her
to be turned into one vast watermelon
farm. Shall we get disgusted and quit
the business?
But what do these things suggest? To
my mind, that we have" scarcely made
a beginning in the melon and truck farm
business. If we think it has grown great
because we see half a dozen steamihips
loading at our wharves and two or three
railroads pushed for rolling stock for a
short season, what will we think when
whole fleets come down in the early
spring, and the railroads are obliged to
keep thousands of extra cars on hand to
accommodate this single trade? All ob
stacles must and will be removed speed
ily, because it is the interest
of all parties to co-operate and build up a
trade that promises to enrich the whole
country. If the Northern dealers will
not handle our produce without ruinous
commissions we must “co-operate” and
send men up there to do the handling, as
they will be sure to send men down here
to do the growing in case we neglect it.
There will soon be 50,000,000 of people in
the North alone, and “enterprising
Yankees” are not likely to do without
early fruits and vegetables when they can
be grown so close at hand.

Fashion Notes,
Yellow flowers are very fashionable.
Mitts are much worn with evening
dresses.
’Felt will be revived for fall hats and i
bonnetb.
Round turbans are the novelty for early
fall wear.
Velvet, satin and lace costumes will be
all the rage in the early fall.
Jet and chenille will play an important
part in dress trimmings, decorations, and
motifs next season.
Brown and pale pink is the favorite
combination for millinery and acces
sories of the toilet at the moment.
Percale and sateen suits are the correct
outdoor wear in the country for the
months of August and September.
White thread lace stockings to wear
with evening slippers of bronze kid are
worn by those who can afford them.
Velvet brocades with headings on the
edges of the figures and flowers are
among the new goods not yet opened for
the fall trade.
The fashionable colors are, or will be,
iron-rust browns, grays, ashes of roses,
dark greens, mignonette, and mushroom
shades, punch blue, tawns and beiges.
Short jackets made of Jersey webbing
will be in high favor to wear with skirts
of half worn dresses or with accordion or
box pleated mohair and light wool skirts.
Bangs have gone entirely out of fash
ion. The hair is now combed straight
back from the forehead in front, brought
forward on the 6ides and twisted up into
a knot on the top of the head.

HOOKS, SEEDS AND VOTES.
How Ymtuff Congressmen Ruin their
t hnnees of Re-election.
“That man won’t comeback to Congress
again," said one of the employes of the
House folding-room to the Washington
Star man the other day, pointing to the
(rank on one of a huge pile ot square
packages heaped up on the table and in
one corner of the room.
“Why so?" asked the Star man.
“Just because these things will prevent
it.”
“What’s in’em? Dynamite?”
“Books.”
“Books?”
“Yes, he’s sending them all through his
district, and he’ll never come back any
more, poor fellow! This is his first term,
and he has fallen iato the delusion that
the way to please his constituents is to
send them books. They don’t cost him
anything, and he thinks it a good way to
buy the good will of his constituents. ’ He
hasn’t been here long enough to learn bet
ter.”
“Don't you know,” he continued, as
suming a more confidential tone, “the
members, almost without exception, who
have begun by sending books home to their
districts, have been defeated. It’s a fact.
It defeats them every time.”
“How is that? What are the books
about?” the Star man asked.
“Tisn’t what’s in them. The books are
all right, except that some of them are
sort of dry. They are the various reports.
Agricultural, Interior Department, Patent
Office reports and the like; scientific
works on surveys, geology, agriculture
and the various matters that have been
looked into under the direction of Con
gress and the executive departments,
besides the executive documents, the
President’s messages and reports upon
foreign relations, commerce and the like.
Oh, they are all good enough books, as far
as that goes. That isn't the thing.”
“What is it, then?” -
"Why it’s just this. When a man
knows how to do it those books can be
used to an advantage; but it won’t do for
him to distribute them loosely among bis
constituents. It’ll defeat him, sure pop.
The old member, who has experience,
will make a good selection of books and
send them to three or four of the leading
politicians in his district. That's all right;
it does some good. But when the Dew
member undertakes to distribute them
among all his constituents he gets him
self in trouble. He can’t have enough to
go round, and the consequence is that
neighbors Smith and Thompson get jeal
ous because neighbor Jones got some
books and they didn't, and when it comes
to the election they will let the member
know that their vote is as good as Neigh
bor Jones'. See? That's the way lots of
young members get caught.
“There's Maginnis; he won’t send out a
book. He has the longest list of any man
in the House. I asked him one' day:
•Major, why don't you send some of your
books home ?’ ‘3ly predecessor got beat
that way,’ was his reply, and the pile of
books is still growing."*
any of the old members send
their books home?” asked the scribe.
“Oh, yes; lots of them do, but they put
them in the hands of the politicians, and
not the mass of voters. Yes, yes; they
send off lots ’of books and seeds, and that
sort of thing, but they wait until the end
of the session and send out all at one time
to those who know how to handle them.
Many, however, like Maginnis, pay no at
tention to them. Judge Kelley neverdoes,
nor does Charlie O'Neill, nor Bingham.
Harmer trades his books off for seeds.
Bayne distributes his judiciously. Brew
er, of New Jersev, ships his ho’me in a
lump and then distributes them as he sees
proper. Some ot the members do Pas of
trading with their books. Those from the
cities trade with those from the country,
giving them the agricultural reports for
the more valuable scientific works. Then
some of the country members trade off all
their books for 6eed. Some of the mem
bers sell their books to second-hand deal
ers; while others buy as many as they can
get. I know of one new member who
spent several thousand dollars sending
books and seeds to his constituents. He
got beaten. There are a number of mem
bers each session who spend large sums
of money in this way. They can’t get
enough but of the a’pportoininent to go
round in their districts, so they buy them.
Some of the scientific works are very ex
pensive. Powell’s reports cost the gov
ernment about sl7 apiece to publish.
“Some of the members.” he added,
“send out lots of seed, and it is said, but
I don’t know how true it is. that the con
fiding constituents olten are deceived bv
their wily representatives, who, when
they can’t" get enough seeds at govern
ment expense, go off and buy a lot of
cheap grass seed and have it done up in
6mall packages, and 6end it off as some
thing rare.”
METEORS BY THE MILLION.
The Earth Now Undergoing a Fierce
Bombardment by the Stray Shell* of
Space.
The earth is now passing through the
stream of August meteors, generally
seen in the northwestern sky after mid
night, says the Boston Herald. A single
observer under favorable circumstances
sees from six to eight meteors an hour.
But he sees only one-fifth or one-sixth of
those visible above his horizon. The to
tal number, therefore, visible in an hour
at a given station is about thirty-five. If
we should multiply this by twenty-four
we should get over 800 as the
number visible at a given point of
the earth’s surface in an entire day,
provided that clouds or sunlight did not
interfere with the observation. From a
single point on the earth’s surface, how
ever, we see only a small portion of the
atmospheric envelope, and it is within
this atmospheric envelope that the mete
ors become visible. The total number
visible over the whole earth in a day
would be upward of 10,000 times the num
ber visible at a single station, or 10,000
multiplied by 800 equals 8,000,000 as the
number ot meteors falling every day to
the earth, which would, in the absence of
the sun. taoon and clouds, be visible to
the naked eye.
Fortunately for us, these bodies are not
very large, and a protective atmosphere
interposes between us and their tumultu
ous assault. Were it otherwise every
thing on the surtace of the earth would be
battered down to a common level. For
the most part these bodies are dissolved
in the upper regions of the atmosphere,
and descend imperceptibly as meteoric
dust, a deposit of which has sometimes
been found upon the tops of mountains.
The August meteors are usually ot an
orange color, move very rapidly, and
commonly leave streaks which last for
one or more seconds. These streaks are
highlv useful in enabling us to fix the ra
diant point with precision.
It is said that Callender's Minsrtels are
doing a capital business at the St. James
Hall, Liverpool, England, They are said,
from good authority, to be giving nine
performances weekly and turning people
away at each performance, and that their
manager, William Walsh, may be cred
ited for this success, through his intro
duction of several new and novel adver
tising schemes.
