HIGH WINDS PREVAILING.
A Kecirit that the Pilots anti Old
Sailors Say la Hard to Reat.
If all lour of the winds of heaven that
poets tell about had joined hands, so to
speak, and worked together they could
hardly have made yesterday more disa
greeable, unless they had cot up a cy
clone. Not a vessel went out and the
steamship Chattahoochee was the only
one that came in, and she got in early.
In the afternoon the wind blew 40 miles
an hour at the sigualollicc attunes and it
kept above 20 miles nearly all day. At
midnight it was blowing at 25 miles an
hour.
Old pilots said that excepting the
cyolnnes of last August and of 1881 there
had been no such wind for eight years.
The old sailors said, too, that they had
never known au easterly wind of such
long duration as the one which has been
blowing ior eleven days. For the past
t wo days it has been almost a steady gale.
Pilots report that on Thursday at sea
heavy waves were rolling in from the
eastward, indicating a heavy storm far
off the coast, the effects of which were not
felt here until Saturday and yesterday.
Ttie weather officials account for the
blow by supposing that there is an area
ol low barometer out in the Gulf some
where southwest of Florida. The barom
eter has been low at Mobile, Pensacola,
Cedar Keys and Key NVest for a few days
past, -avau 11 ah seemed to be getting the
heaviest blow yesterday. At Jackson
ville and Charleston the wind was not
near so high. It was impossible to tell
last night bow much longer the blow
would last. The centre of the area in
which the low barometer prevails is so
Jar away from any signal stations that
the weathermen could get very little data
to figure on.
There were 4or 5 showers yesterday,
but tioue lasted more than a few minutes.
The hardest of the snowers eauie early
last night and for a little while the rain
was driven 111 sheets ahead of the wind.
The Brig Itobt*. Dillon w as boarded by a
pilot on Friday atop in. off Martin’s in
dustry lightship, 35 miles from the city,
and by 8 she was anchored in the river in
Jront of the city. 'Puis is fast sailing.
The Quarantine Station.
it is reported that the quarantine
anchorage is rapidly filling up, owing to
the building of ibo jetty from Turtle
Island to the oyster beds. Pilots report
that there are now only six teet of water
ut the entrance to the anchorage, and
that only vessels of the smaller class
ran enter. To the westward of the jetty,
end convenient 10 the quarantine station
end hospital, there is a good anchorage.
Well protected from easterly winds, where
vessels can rule at anchor in safety. The
water is quite deep at this point, and is
gradually deepening, and when the jetty
is completed the latter can be used as a
Mtf to which vessels am be moored,
and will also afford easy access to the
nation on lue oyster beds.
Death or au Old Citizen
Mr. George \V. Hedrick, an old aud
well-known citizen, died yesterday in ins
S s :h year. He was a painter by trade and
Was for many years in the employ of the
late John Oliver. Several years ago Mr.
Hedrick met. with uti accident while at
tending to bis Julies and since that time
lias been an invalid. He leaves a wile
and quite a large family connection. Hu

SINGING HYMN'S Ol PRAISE.
Interest tug .Service at the first Presby
terian Church L st Night.
In place of a regular sermon last night
Rev. J. VV. Kogan, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, conducted what he
termed a “praise service.” Leaves con
taining the words of half a dozen hymns
were furnished the congregation, and the
pastor related some incident connected
with the hymn or the author. Contrary
to the usual custom, the first hymn
sung was the one beginning, “Praise
God from whom all blessings flow,”
the long meter duxology, which has dons
service as tne closing hymn in a good
many churciies, even longer than the old
est member can recollect. The hymn was
written by Bishop KeD, who was a youth
in Cromwell’s time and graduated from
Oxford about the time of the restoration
of Charles 11. Mr. Hogan sketched the
Bishop’s life briefly and.obsei'ved that he
did not know of anything in literature of
which he would rather be the author than
ot the well known doxology.
The next hyinn was one of Mrs. I*. 11.
Brown’s. That fady was born in the State
of New York late in the last century, and
lived far into this century. She bad a
son who lived in Liberty county, this
State. Tne first stanza of the hymn read:
1 love to steal awhile away
from overy cumbering Cl re,
And spend the hours or selling day
Jll humble, grateful prayer.
Until she was 18 yours of age Mrs.
Brown could neither road nor write. She
was very pious though, and after she ac
quired an education she became a volumi
nous writer.
“I gave my life for Ihcc.
My precious blood I shed.”
wore the first two lines of the next hymn
that was sung, ft was written hy Frances
R. Havergal, who was also born in the
last quarter of the last century. A story
told of the hymn is that Miss Havergal
scribbled off the lines one day and after
finishing them tossed the paper Into the
grate, ft fell short of the lire though and
a frieud picked the scrap up unobserved
and laid it away. Years afterwards the
friend showed it to the authoress, and the
hymn was published a little later.
One of P. I*. Bliss’ hymns was next
sung. It began:
“I am so glad thatour Father in heaven.”
P. P. Bliss was born in Pennsylvania
and in 1838 perished with bis wile in the
terrible disaster at Ashtabula, Ohio, in
1870.
oilier hymns sung were hy Miss C.
Elliott, Emily 8. Oakey and Dr. H. It.
Palmer, one of the most popular writers
of hymns oi the present day.
E. Perronei’B “All Hail the Power of
Jesus’ Name” was the closing hymn,
i’erronet was a co-laborer with Charles
Wesley for a time, but they drifted apart.
For some time Wesley tried to hear I’er
rouet preach. The lutter for some reason
was as anxious that Wesley should not
hear him as Wesley was to hear him. On
one occasion Wesley Irom the pulpit
espied Perronet in his'congregation.
Before dismissing the congregation Mr.
Wesley announced that Perronet would
preach to them the next morning. I’erronet
did not like to refuse and he was certain
that if he did preach Wesley would he
somewhere within ear snot. The next
morning alter theeongregation assembled
Perronet ascended the pulpit and explain
ed that Mr. Wesley had made tbe an
nouncement without permission or con
sultation, “but 1 will give you tne best
sermon you ever heard,” Perronet added,
and then he turned to the New Testament
aud read Christ’s sermon on the mount.
COMING IN STYLE.
The Governor's Horse Guard to Travel
iu a Special Train of l’alaee Cars.
The Governor’s Horse Guard, of At
lanta, is making great preparations for its
Savannah trip. It is expected that the
troop will bring about 40 men. The
troops’ horses will be brought down in
lour palace stock cars, and it is probable
that one car load will be taken back
Tuesday, and tuat more thau 30 of tne
company will remain two or three days
longer. Those of the members who can
not leave their business for tne whole
time will thus have an opportunity of
coming down and participating in the ex
ercises ot the big day. The horses will
have to be sent Saturday morniug. May 1.
An Atlauta railroad man, who has
charge of the troops’ transportation, says:
“One of the finest trains that ever ran
over a Southern road will leave Atlanta
via the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad Saturday evening, May
1, about Bo’clock, carrying the Governor’s
Horse Guard to Savannah, it will be
composed of Pullman's handsomest bul
let sleepers, oHe of which will be the fa
mous “Norlolk,” that took the first prize
at the New Orleans Exposition. The
train will stop only for water and fuel
whileen route, and be under tbe direct
control of the Horse Guards.”
It is probable that Gov. McDaniel and
lamily and Mayor liillyer and family, and
a lew other specially invited guests of
the Horse Guard, will come down on this
train.

SAVANNAH MOKJNUNU JNEYVS: MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1886.
AROUND THE RASES.
The Ili-ginning of th Second Week’s
Southern League Games To-day,
This week may make some changes in
the position of the Southern League
(Jiuiis. Savannah and Atlanta 6tart out
tied for first place. The same clubs will
play to-day that played last week. To
morrow the visiting clubs will change
towns. Chattanooga will go to Charles
ton, Atlanta will go to Augusta,
Nashville will go to Macon
and Memphis will come to Savannah.
Three consecutive games will be played,
and on Friday a rest will be taken, the
first series’ot eight games closing on -Sat
urday. in to-day’s game with Chattanoo
ga Savannah will put up O’Day and Gil
len. O’Day has pitched in but three games
this season, owing to a sore arm. When
in good condition lie is one ot tne hardest
ol pitchers to face. A strong batter and
good runner, he is looked upon as one of
the surest players in the team. McClung,
the visitors’ pitcher, has been in practice
in Chattanooga, and is pronounced one of
the most puzzling pitchers that has ever
been seen iu Tennessee. Both clubs will
play to win, and a close game is looked
ior.
SHORT STOPS.
O’Day and Gillen will bo tbe battery
for the homo team to-day, and the two
McClungs lor Chattanooga.
Chattanooga will leave for Charleston
after to-day’s game and will play the
Charleston team to-morrow.
The contractor Manning, formerly sec
ond baseman tor Baltimore, has been ap
proved with the Augusta club.
Young McClung, Chattanooga’s new
left-handed twirler, who will play in to
day’s game, is said to be a marvel.
Savannah will play her last game of the
present series with Chattanooga to-day.
The next time she will play the Chatta
noogas will be May 14, 15, 10 and 17 on
their own grounds.
Savannah will play Memphis four
games this week, beginning to-morrow.
Anson, of the Cbicagos, said while here
that Memphis played the league giants,
the best game of any team he had met
South.
Wick Miller played in the Chicago club
game at Columbus, Friday, and made
iwi) base bits. Miller wiil be remem
bered in Savannah as tbe short stop ot the
Columbus club when Hub Collins covered
first base. Savannah used to think they
were a great pair.
Charleston is down in the month about
her team. She ought not to be. Charles
ton has done good work, and base ball
men here say that she has some of tbe
best players in the country. Manager
Cushman, however, is not yet satisfied
with the strength of the team, and will
continue to improve its material.
The Telegraph says that Green, who
umpired Saturday’s game between Macon
and Memphis, seemed to tie myopic. His
decisions were so at variance with tne
opinions of several proficient base ball
men that it is not unfair to him to say
that he made several palpable mistakes.
As bis blunders displayed no partiality,
it is clear that, they were mistakes of judg
ment and not of heart; but nevertheless
they gave dissatisfaction to both clubs
and to tbe on-lookers.
The Chattanooga Times, writing of the
first two Bavannah-Cbattanooga games,
says: The first game was ingloriously lost
by the superior playing of the Savannahs,
and the failure of Hart to properly con
trol his delivery. The second game,
though lost, was by no means discourag
ing; in fact, it promises that our team is
fast recovering the ground lost by the
high water, during whioh they were
cooped up and not permitted to practice.
The Savannahs are regarded as one of the
strongest teams in the league, being
probably the highest priced. They have,
moreover, had a month’s continued prac
tice with the best clubs of the American
Association and the National League,
and in consequence at their best. That
our team should hold them down to four,
and hit them for three runs in their sec
ond game, is just cause for congratula
tion, and justifies the claim made that we
have a splendid set of ball players.
First* for 1880.
Louisville was the first club to score
double figures.
Hub Collins, of Savannah, made tbe first
run of tne season.
Augusta and Detroit played the first
extra inning gamo.
Memphis was the first club to be white
washed. Nashville applied the coat.
Ramsey was the first pitcher to dispose
ol an opposing team with but one bit.
Eugene Moriarity, of tbe Savannahs,
made the first hit and caught thetirst fly.
Werrick, Louisville’s third baseman,
was the first unfortunate to make an er
ror.
Strieker has tbo honor of being the
first player to make a home-run this sea
son.
Me Elroy, of Memphis, was the first
player to be released after the season
opened.
Baldwin was the first pitcher this sea
son to dispose of a team for only two hits
iii the game.
The Philadelphia and Charleston clubs
were the first to he photographed in
groups this season.
Marr, of the Nashvilles, was the first
player injured, and Bryan, of Charleston,
the first to be seriously crippled.
The Charleston club was the first to be
shut out without a hit. Casey and Daily
did it on March 27. Tbe lormer pitched 5
innings and the laLtcr 4.
Norman Baker was the first pitcher this
season to strike out 3 men in succession
in an inning. He was also the first to
strike out over a dozen men in a game.

FEAST OF THE PASSOVER.
PREPARATIONS FOR CELE
BRATING THE FESTIVAL.
Unleavened Bread to be Eaten for
Seven Hays in Commemoration of
Israel’s Bondage in Egypt—A Festi
val Over Three Thousand Years
Old—How it will be Observed in the
.Jewish Cliureh.
To-morrow the Jewish people will cele
brate one of the greatest festivals in
the Hebrew church—the Feast of Unleav
ened Bread. This is the first of tbe three
great annual feasts instituted by Moses,
and is in commemoration of the departure
ol the.children of Israel from Egypt.
Three thousand one hundred and fifty
eight years ago tbo 20th of this month
Moses began his pilgrimage. In Exodus,
xii., it is recorded that the Lord spoke unto
Moses and Aaron commanding that on a
certain day each family should slay a
lamb and sprinkle the blood ou the
two side posts and above the door of
the bouse in which tbe lamb is eaten
“with unleavened bread and with hitter
herbs.” The lamb was to be eaten “with
your loins girded, your shoes on your
feet, and your staff m your hand; and ye
shall eat it in baste; it is the Lord’s pass
over.” “For,” saitb tbe Lord, ”1 will
pass through the land of Egypt this night
and will smite all tne first born in the
land of Egypt,both man and beast, * * *
and the blood shall be to you lor a token
upon the houses where ye are, and when
I see the blood I will pass over you and
tbo plague shall not be upon you to de
stroy you, * * * and this day shall
be unto you for a memorial.”
Moses’rod had been turned into a ser
pent aud back to a rod again. The won
derful work ot delivering the children of
Israel from the bondage ol tbe Egyptians
had been begun. The river had been
turned to blood, the plagues of tbe lice
ami flies, the murrain of beasts, the
plagues Of hail and locusts and dark ness,
all bad cotne, but still “Pharaoh’s heart
was hardened and he would not let them
go.” At last the terrible death plague
was sent, and “there was a great cry in
Egypt, lor there was not a house where
there was not one dead.”
Then it was that a w ail went up from
Egypt; and the children of Israel were
not only allowed to go. buf were told to
go in baste, and not stand on the order of
their going. The people baked their
dough before it was leavened, because
their kneading troughs were packed ior
the traveling.
It is in memory of this departure that
the approaching festival is to he observed.
Every Jewish household in the land is be
ing put in order, and to-day will fiml
everything in trim condition for the feast.
This evening exercises will lie held
at the synagogue, and again on Tues
day. The orthodox Jews will have cere
monies at home this eveniug. At
these private ceremonies there will be
unleavened bread, representing the kind
of bread the children of Israel ate in tneir
haste to leave Egypt; bitter herbs, repre
senting the bitterness of bondage; and
a mixture representing the mortar
iisnl to build the cities that were
built tor l’lmraoh during the time
ot slavery. There wi’.l also be a repre
sentation of the Paachul iamb and red
wine representing the Red sea. This
“Paschal meal” is a hallowed family
feast. Orthodox Jews are very particu
lar about the wine used, and will take
none that is not sealed with a seal show
ing that it comes irom a Jewish vineyard.
Oiten this wine is brought from Jerusa
lem. For seven days alter this first day
of the feast the only bread eaten is un
leavened bread. This bread is made'in
little cakes something like a large
cracker, and contains nothing but water
and flour. Tbe festival closes on April 27,
witu a holy convocation at the synagogue.

The Charleston amateurs who are to
sing “Fra Diavolo” in Savamiah on May
1 have engaged a special train, which
will leave that city at 6:30 a. m. on that
day. They expect to hrlng about 100
Charlestonians with them.
The Mews and Conner says of a recent
performance of “Fra Diavolo” in Charles
ton: '*The merits of the travesty have al
ready been so specially noted that it only
remains to say that tbe company of ama
teurs who put the travesty on the stage
have accomplished a very creditable piece
of work, and have found u happy reward
in the manner in which their efforts have
been received by tbe Charleston public,
li is also to be hoped that they will turn
their attention at an early day to the pro
duction of another travesty." which will
doubtless meet with an equal share of de
served and flattering success.”

RELIEF
Forty Years a Sufferer from
CATARRH!
WONDERFUL TO RELATE.
For forty years 1 have been a victim to Ca
tarrh—three-fourths of the time a sufferer
from excruciating pains across my forehead
and my nostrils. The discharges were so
oflensive that I hesitate to mention it- except
lor the good it may do some other sufferer. I
have spent a young fortune from my earnings
during my forty years of suffering to obtain
relief from the doctors. I have tried patent
medicine*—every one I could learn of—from
the four corners of the earth, with no relief.
And at ln*t (57 years of age) have met with a
remedy that has cured me entirely—made me
a m-w man. I weighed 128 pounds and new
weigh 148. I used thirteen bottles of the
medicine, and the only regret I have is that
being in the humble walks of life I mar not
have influence to prevail on all catarrh suffer,
ers to use what has cured mo,
