A Paper for the People.
THE MORNING NEWS,
IT WOULD REQUIRE TnE SCOPE OF QUITE A
large volume to contain the good things that
are said about the Morning News by its contem
poraries of the Southern press. It is almost daily
referred to as “The best paper in the South,”
“the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and is gener
ally conceded to be iu all respects a modern
Southern newspaper.
This is the fame thdt the Morning News covets,
and no pains will be spared hereafter to make it
still worthier of the confidence and patronage of
the people of Georgia and Florida. The ample
resources of the establishment will bo devoted to
the improvement of the paper in respect to its
already large facilities for gathering the current
news of the and ay, and its. staff of special corres
pondents has been reorganized with a view to
meeting every possible contingency that may
arise.
Although the Morning News has little or no
competition within the field of its circulation,
nevertheless no’effort will be considered too ex
pensive that give the earliest aud freshest infor
mation to its readers. In this respect there will
be no relaxation of the endeavor to keep it far
ahead of its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the paper so
popular will be maintained. The editorial de
partment will be conducted with the same digni
fied thoughtfulness, conservative vigor, and earn
est devotion to principal that have characterized
it. The racy reliability of the local, and the ac
curacy and completeness of the commercial de
partmerts, will be kept up to the old standard,
improvements will be made whatever they
are suggested by experience.
The Morning News is the only Savannah paper
that publishes the Associated Press dispatches
and the Telegraphic Market Reports authorized
by the Commercial Bureau of New York City. In
addition to this, the. Local Market reports will be
full and reliable, aud will enable business men of
Georgia aud Florida to form estimates as accu
rate aud as intelligent as if they were in t#c
city.
In a word, the Morning News will comprise
every feature that renders the modern newspaper
attractive, and its readers may confidently look
to its columns for the latest information in regard
to everything of current interest, It will admit
of no rivalry in its own proper field, and will al
low no compeditor to outstrip it i” any depart
ment of journalistic enterprise.

A Lover’s Ruse.
Some years since, two wealthy
bachelors lived in the vicinity of
Paris. They had a young maid of
all-work named Marrie de la Font.
Marie was a sweet, pretty girl, and
lively and piquant in her manners,
although modest in the extreme, and
this was tlie reason that the two
brothers kept her in their employ.
They knew that she was frugal, eco
nomical, and dressed in the most
moderate manner imaginable. One
day Marie surprised her employers
by informing them that a young
artisan, residing in Paris, had asked
her hand. They strove to dissuade
her from accepting the offer of mar
riage, but she told them that she
could not be happy unless she be
came the wife of her dear Henri. So
it was arranged that she should quit
the service of the two brothers at
the end of the coming month to get
married.
One day during this interval the
two brothers sold some valuable real
estate, which they owned jointly,
and the sum realized amounted to
100,000 francs. It was all in bills
on the Bank of France, and was
paid too late for deposit the same
afternoon.
Night c-amo, and as the old bach
elors seldom had such a large
amount in the house, they were con
siderably concerned lest robbers
should attempt to rob them. Their
fears were strengthened by the nu
merous burglaries that had recently
taken place in that vicinity.
The residence of the old men was
some distance from the main road,
and stood near the river Seine. It
was a lonely, gloomy location, and
on the night in question the winds
swept through the tall larches sur
rounding the mansion with doleful
and moaning cadence.
About midnight the old men re
tired; but scarcely had they fallen
asleep, when Mario rapped at their
door and informed them that rob
bers were at work below.
Both of the bachelors were terri
bly frightened, and when one com
menced to bar the door the other
began removing a- tile from the
hearth to hide the bills.
“You have a gun,” said Marie;
“take it and shoot the villians.”
But the two trembling men paid
no heed to her advice.
“Cowards!” said the brave girl,
scornfully. “I wish I were a man
for five minutes.”
Just then there came a heavy
crash from the apartments below.
The brothers crept beneath the
bed, where they shivered and cring
ed unable to speak from terror.
“We shall all be murdered in our
beds,” said the girl. “We will be
found by the police in the morning
with our throats cut from ear to ear.
Peste! fools, give 1110 tlie gun.”
She seized the double-barrelled
gun that laid upon the shelf, and
started down stairs, while the two
frightened men watched her without
saving a word. Presently bang
went the gun, and a groan was
heard. Bang! went the second bar
rel, and a screech of pain resounded
through the house that caused the
blood of the brothers to run cold.
A brief pause ensued, and then
Marie came tripping up stairs, but
her face wore a determined, dissat
isfied look. She asked for powder
and ball to reload, which were fur
nished ; but before she finished load
ing, footsteps were heard retreating
from the house.
No one slept in the house that
night, nor were they again molest
ed. But at early dawn, on going
down stairs, a pool of blood was on
the hall floor that showed that one
robber at least had been seriously,
if not mortally wmunded; and it was
plain to see by the bloody path in
the earth that the victim had been
dragged to the river. (lore marked
the whole distance, and the police
were at once put on the track for
the arrest of the living thieves and
the recovery of the body of the dead
one.
But all efforts proved vain, and
the bravery of the young girl was
discussed far and near.
The greateful bachelors were so
overwhelmed that they offered to
give Marie a dower.
“Ah! Messieurs,” replied she af
fectionately, “how can I leave you?
You may again be attacked by rob
bers.”
“But wc will not nevertheless,
stand between you and happiness,”
they replied. “Here arc thirty
thousand francs —you have saved
our lives, and richly deserve the
money. If you chose to live in this
house with your husband, wo will
repair the lower part for that pur- 1
pose, and you can also bo hired to 1
keep our room neat as you are doing I
now.
$2.50 A YEAH.
Henri married Marie and they ac
cepted the dower and the house.
Years passed, and recently the
real facts of this midnight robbery
came to light. Both of the old bach
elors dead and they had willed
Mario another thirty thousand
francs. The brave girl did not re
fuse it. It turned out, however -
tliat the robbers were not plural.
Henri acted as the burglar, the
blood was from a lamb killed for the
purpose, and the whole was but a
ruse of the two lovers ,to open the
hearts and purses of the two old mi
sers.
Running for Office.
I never run for office but once.
At the earnest solicitations of some
of my friends in an unguarded mo
ment I allowed myself to be announc
ed as candidate for the office of Jus
tice of the Peace. Previous’to this
fool move I had been considered a
decent kind of a man, but the next
day when the Bugle came out it was
filled with accounts of my previous
history that would have curdled the
blood of a Digger Indian. A sus
ceptible public was gravely informed
that I was not tit for the office, that
I w r as almost a fool, besides I had
come West under very suspicious
circumstances. I had starved my
deaf old grandmother to death and
then sold the remains to a soap fac
tory.
1 had stolen a hand organ from a
blind cripple and run away with
the proceeds. I had sold my grand
father’s coffin for fourteen dollars,
and buried the old gent in a boot
box. In utter despair I rushed
around to headquarters, withdrew
my name and swore a solemn swear
that I would never indulge in poli
tics again. And never will. —John
Quill.
Is YOUR Wife Nervous and F ret-,
fel?—This is certainly very -wrong.-
No doubt she wall plead her thousand
and one cares and vexatious, but all
that certainly gives her no right to
disturb her lord’s peace and com
fort. Let me whisper in your car.
I think I can suggest a scheme that
will make her ashamed of this irrit
ability. Try upon her the tender
ness of the honeymoon, Don’t
think to make her happy with a
brocade or anew carriage; but
when you come home, bring with
you her favorite flower—show licit
in-a hundred ways that she is in all
your thoughts. This is the medicine
that will cure her. Try love in largo
and repeated doses. It is the spec
ific for many of the worst complaints
among our wives.
A million Dollar Wedding Pres
ent. — Miss Alice M. Singer, daugh
ter of the sewing machine inventor,
was married on Jujie ninth in South
Devon, England, to W. A. P La
Grove, formerly of Brooklyn. It is
stated the bride’s dower is one mil
lion dollars, in addition to which
she received ten thousand dollars,
worth of diamonds. Her wedding
dress cost one thousand dollars,
and each of the six bridesmaids
received a handsome dress worth
two hundred and fifty dollars from
Mr. Singer.
UAT 1 On a street car the other day
a boy made a sudden grab among
the straw, caught something, and as
he straightened up, he asked, “who’s
lost a fifty cent peice ?” Seven men
held out their hands to him, and
four wanted to, but felt afraid. There
was a painful pause, and then the
boy unclasped his hands and exibit
a pants button. Seven men sudden
ly sank back to meditate, and the
other four indulged in winks.

Xifif" Jones went to the theatre
the other evening. The play was
bad, the acting worse. On all sides
Jones’ friends were hissing both.
“You take it comfortably,” said a
friend to Jones. “I came in with
an order and I don’t feel at liberty
to express an adverse opinion,” was
the reply. Presently, however,
Jones rose hurriedly, indignation in
every line of his face. “By Jove, I
must go out and pav !” ho exclaim*
ed.
The New York Sun is re
sponsible for this joke, which Mr.
Barnum himself will laugh at: “The
re-election of Wm. H. Barnum in
Connecticut to congress proves the
wisdom of being particular in the
choice of one’s associates. He care
fully abstained from attending the
late Congress.
P-y'" Murray county, Kentucky,
