The managers of the grand fifty-hour walking match, to take place Sept. 4, 5 and 6, have deposited with Wm. F. Reid, the popular druggist, $450. the amount of the prizes offered. This secures the entries against any possibilitv of loss. The managers are in correspondence with pedestrians from Atlanta and Rome, and hope to secure at least three entries from the latter city. The entries will close Aug. 35. and everything points to a close and exciting contest. 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.

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. THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 1884. MILITARY AT THE SEASHORE. The Jaeper Greene Off for ShUltab'i Island Tt-lajr—The Cadets on Wed nesday. The Irish Jasper Greens' excursion to Sullivan’s Island to-day will include only a portion of the company. It was not de signed to be a military trip. The party will leave on the regular Charleston train this morning, arriving at the island early this afternoon, were they will spend to morrow and Tuesday, some remaining j over untif the visit of the Cadets on Thurs day. Although no public announcement I has been made, it is understood that the l Greens will be received by detachments ! of the Charleston military in citizen’s dress and will be tendered a reception i to-morrow night. The Cadets will leave by special train on Wednesday night at 7 o’clock, going direct to the island, where they will ar ! rive at midnight. A telegram was re ceived by the company from Master of Transportation Craig, of the Charleston and Savannah Railway, yesterday arrang ing the schedule. The Cadets will carry bet wien 28 and 30 men. rank and tile, iii uniform, and the entire party will num ber about 00. On Thursday an exhibition drill will be given on the leach and the company will return Thursday night. The Cadets’ visit will doubtless be the ev,nt of the season at the island. They will be entertained at the New Brighton Hotel and it is understood will be received by the Charleston military. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. A Kemarkable Showtnf of the City * Mortality. The statistics of the Health Depart ment show that the total number of deaths in the city last week was 11—1 whites and 7 colored. This is an exceedingly low mortality, lower probably than any other city in the South. The deaths in every instance were the result of ordinary dis eases.

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.

The Board of Trade has challenged the Cotton Exchange for a game of ball. The Exchange has not accepted, as yet. It is said that if the game comes off that the pitcher’s box and short stop will show up the features of the game to perfection. Duncan C.

Muldoon, John McMahon or any of the champions, for *I,OOO a side any time after Sept. 6. James Fleming, the celebrated Scotch athlete, is about to leave Scotland for Australia, where he will permanently re side. He has never appeared in this coun try since 1871. when he carried all before him as an athlete, his only adversary that he did not entirely vanquish being Donald Dinnie. Arrangements are being made for a match game of ball between picked nines from the Chatham Artillery, of this city, and the Macon Volunteers, to be played at Macon Friday. Aug. 22, the proceeds to be applied to the Chatham’s Centennial Fund. The Volunteers, from all that can be learned, will put out a strong team. There are quite a number of old ball tossers in the company, and the Chat hams will have to look well to their lau rels alreadv won in the diamond. It is rumored that the Cbatbams will have the original jbattery of the Dixies, which in davs gone by added by their excellent E laying much to the fame and glory won y that organization. The nine will com mence practicing at once, and hope to do up the Macon boys in grand 6tyle. SHOTTING IN HIS CELL. A Tough Customer Arrested in the Old Magazine Ward. 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. Anew line of Plaited Shirts, at Belsin ger’s, 24 Whitaker street.— Adv.

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 roughs. Treasurer—Miss Susan C. Tufts. Secretary—Mrs. Wallace Gumming. DIRECTRESSES. Mrs. Ann Davis, Mrs. John Stoddard, Mrs. Tbos. K. Mills, Mrs. Geo. L.

Miss Hartridge. Miss C. Cohen, Misa Sarah Mackay. 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.

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. DIsCERNER. Footlight Flashes. A. M. Palmer has secured “The Pri vate Secretary,” a London success, pay ing $1,500 and a royalty. Clara Morris is to receive sl’,ooo per night the coming season over the Texas circuit. Contracts were signed last week. Lulu Hurst, the alleged magnetic won der. will, it is said, shortly ’appear in Philadelphia, under the management of Zimmerman k Nixon. Ellinor Moretti, “Mrs. Katherine Rogers’ daughter,” will play the leadin . role in Chapman and Sellers’ "Her Atone ment” Company the coming season. Brooks A Dickson have arranged with Mrue. Ristori, in view ol the Presidential election, to postpone hpr first appearance from Oct. 16 to Nov. 10, at the Chestnut Street Theatre. Philadelphia, in “Mane Antoinette.” Mile. Rhea is at present at Antwerp, Belgium. After a brief visit to her sister there, she will return to Paris to obtain new wardrobes by Worth for “Yvonne.” In this she will sustain the title role, and will be more gorgeously dressed than ever. Bartley Campbell will have three com panies on the road next season, “Separa tion,” "Siberia” and the “White Slave.” Aldrich and Scanlan will continue his plays next season, and some of his plays will be done on the other side of the At lantic. “May Blossom” opens at the Chestnut Street ’ Theatre, Philadelphia, for two weeks from Oct. 6. New scenery is now being prepared at the Madison Square for the purpose. When company No. 1 takes the road a second will be put on the Madi son Square Theatre. Frank Frayr.e is touring the English provinces with his rifle and a black bear. In some towns the authorities have forbidden his dangerous exhibitions of marksmanship. Frayne has evidently forgotten the resolution he expressed, just alter the killing of Anna Yon Behren, to dispense with this objectionable fea ture of his performance.” 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.

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.
