Mr. Cumming favored the bill, and could sec no reason why 7 per cent, should have been fixed upon. Why not say 3 or 10—or why not say that money is worth what it will bring? But as this law of 7 percent. Inis been of such long standing, he was will ing to make a compromise and allow the rate to be fixed at 10 per cent, but he was really opposed to any restriction, lielieving that the idea of usury laws was founded in superstition.

But its continuous growth ia vary perceptible. Many **oW things** i away, and the people are gradually itg accustomed to tbe ’new order.* iha.‘>ato tiriuga passed away/ th sunken rerr-< fa the prejudice against the ‘’public school’’ system of education. Indeed. Savannah has outstripped many of Iter Southern sisters an tkis particular. The public scbodM eMCMbdl by the city have entirely supplanted the private schools, and I learn that there b not a single female, and bat one male academy, now here. The attendance of white children ia the public school numbers about txtmntg-femr hu ndred. employing forty odd teachers. Those schools are patronized by all dosses, and by rich and poor alike. I enjoyed the pleasure of a few moment’s stay in the school rooms. The Superintend ent, Mr. W. S. Baker, and two of bis princi pals, Mr. Bogart and Mr. Zettler, were very kind and entertaining. A dozen of the high school girls gave a short but exceed ingly interesting exhibition of physical exere cisc upon the plau known, I believe, as the “Dio Lewis,*’ improved, no doubt, by the es timable wife of tlie former Superintendent, Mr. B. Mallon. Rings and dumb bells were employed to impart assistance and force to tbe movements of tbe body, and all the muscles are brought into vigorous activity. No plan could be conceived more admirably adapted to tha production of easy and graceful action, and the two fold result of such exercise is the de velopment and strengthening of the physical powers, and gracefulness of motion. Musi cal accompaniment, while contributing in manifest ways to the general result, invests tbe exercise with additional fascination and pleasure. In contemplating the physical health,beauty and grace developed by this plan the boys of this generation may well be en vied, whose coming sweethearts will be the girls graduated under this new system of fe male education. The system will be univer sally adopted, for its necessity is apparent nnd unquestionable. At the age of thirteen or fourteen the romping days of a girl are ol>ont past, when Hie formative period of J.i-r J f«* U .»t hand, requiring tin* most gener- **n* t \< rC’.*-* ♦*» produce* a healthy and robust \v<-‘*iu;ff..* - J. ut:!- at the age mentioned gem Tail} less riel active exercise to walking; which 1m** «miics a constant habit and is good so far as it goes, but i9 entirely insufficient to decrease the annual crop of frail and feeble women unfit to undergo tbe slightest toil, much less to meet the trials and requirements of a married life. I found general testimony to the fact that Atlanta had secured in Mr. Mallon the very man needed for the inauguration of oar pub lic schools. He was the great “head and front’’ of the public schools in Savannah. THE GROUNDS arc about equal In area to those of Oglethorpe Park, and arc perfectly level. At the main eutrance is the Secretary’s office, a small building of two stories, the lower fhtor bring *levoted to the use of the Secretary and the upper to the Board of Direct*»ra After en tering the grounds there is a building upon the left called the “ machinery depot,” 290x50 feet. In this th** usual machinery to be found at a fair is collected. To the right of this structure is the main “ exhibition lroild- ing,” two atnrtes in lu-ight. Two large halA nre thus provided 200x60 feet, the lower be ing occupied principally by tin* immediate productions of tbe soil and the hemviiT fab rics. You have not space for a description of articles, which are mainly such as wen at the Atlanta Fair. But I must say that the exhi bition is a large and splendid one, every avail able space being occupied. It would be diffi cult to excel tbe Fine Art Department. Tbe display of tropical fruits is fine, and the vis ion is delighted by clnstera of luscious or anges hanging from heavily laden Rnigbs There is an abutitlaiic.e of beautiful ribbon colored and golden sugar **-in**. nnd some of the finest specimens I ever saw. But let us pass to the AMPUITIIKATRB or grand aland, which is of two stories, th- lower used as a dining hail and the upper arranged for the .spectators. This command- a view of the entire race track, but ia scare* - 1y of sufficient capacity, as il will not seat more than two thousand persons. The rao - track is a mile in length. No very superi* i noted horses arc here. The most In teresting exhibition I witues*ed upon ti"* track was A RIDING CONTEST between four young ladies. The pretniu < most skillful rider and grace! equestrienne was awarded to a young lady who rode a fiery steed with a dash and queenly bearing that carried a fellow’s bean tumultuously with her.
