THE SAVANNAH IVATLY NEWS.
The .Savannah Daily Morning
News is acknowledged by the press
and people to be the best daily paper
south of,Louisville and east of New
Orleans. Carrying with it the pres
tige and reliability of’age, it. has ail
(he vigor and'vitality of youth, and
its enterprise as a gatherer of the la
test and freshest news inis’ astonished
its contemporaries and (net, the warm
approbation of the pubiWT
During tire , year TS73, no ex
pense of time, labor, aififf. .money will
be spent-to keep the Morning News
ahead of al! competitors in Georgia
journalism, and to deserve the flatter
ing encomiums heaped upon it from
all quart era. There has, as ye f , been
no serious attempt made to’iival the
telegrams which tiie News inaugura
ted some years ago, and the cor.se
quence is that the reader in search
of tile latest intelligence always looks
to the Morning News. The tele
graphic arrangements of the p iper
are shell that the omissions made by
the general press reports are prompt
ly and reliably supplied by its sj ccia!
correspondents.
The Morning News ha- lately been
enlarged to a thirtv-six column pa
per, ami this broad scope of type
embraces, daily, everything of intoi
est that transpires in the domain of
Literature, Art, Science, Politics, Ile
ligion, anti general intelligence; giv
ing to the reader more and better di
gested matter’than any other paper
in the State.
It is, perhaps, needless to speak
of the polities of fhe Morning News.
For years and years—indeed, since its
('slabn.-luuent—it has been a feprsen
tative Southern paper, and from that
tune to the present, in all eonjunc-t
lures, it lias consistently and persis-j
lenity maintained Democratic States
Bights principles, and labored, with
an ardor and devotion that know no
abatement, to promote and preserve
the iutoiests and the honor of the
South.
The special features of the Morn
ing News will be retained and im
proved upon during the ensuing
'.ear. and several new attractions will
be added. • *
Tiie Georgia news items, with their
quaint and pleasant humor, and the
epitome of Florida affairs, will be
e.i)|)t,~uineil during the y<r. The local
depaitmout will be, as i! has Loon for
(lie past year, the most emnpleie and
reliable to bn foam] in any Savannah
paper, and the commercial columns
will be lull and accurate.
The. price of the Daily is 510.00 per
annum ; $5.00 lbr six mouths ; 52 50
for three months; SI.OO for one
month.

A STORY FOR CHILDREN.
Our Dog Jerry as School-Master.
“O papa,’’ said my boy Ned tome
as we were starting for a walk, one
morning, with Jury, “I have taught
Jerry such a lot of things since von
have been aivi.y; he can fe eh sticks
out of the water, and beg splendidly
—come bore, Jerry,” (taking a piece
of bread from the breakfast table)
“show paps bow you can beg."
Jerry accordingly, a beautiful black
rctrirviv, which 1 had bought f>r
Ned, a few uion< before, sat up and
looked as demure as a four-legged
stoic can do till In* got. the bread,
when he thanked Ned by a wag of
l.is tail.
“ 1 taught 1 im that, pupa,” cried
Ned. “ Good dog, Jerry ! But Liz
zie” (Ned’s sister) “ heiped to make
him fetch the sticks,’’
“ Well, ly.it,’’ said TANARUS, rather amused,
“if you teach him all this, Ned, does
be never teach you anything in
return ?”
•‘He, indeed! Come noiv, papa,
what can a dog teach me? And 1
am very glad, <kar old Jorry,”
(bending down anil eb.s ing Jerry,
who returned the sa’u o by lioki ig
the boy’s face) “you at any rate,
don’t come the school master over
one; it, is e lough to have old Gug
gles,” (this was Ned’s dreadfully
irreverent name for his master, who
wore spectacles) “bothering one from
morning to night with his x y z’s
and his tnpto, isn’t it ? W lat do you
think, papa, old Goggles positively
makes us learn half a page of irregu
lar Greek verbs every morning now;
but wo always slip them when we
can.” *
“ Ah, well, my and ar boy,” was my
mild answer, we Intvo ail of us had
to go through tho same hard experi
ences, I suppose. But as to Jerry,
do ycu know 1 think ho tries to teach
you a good deal, if s on have only the
wit to learn. Only Jerry is wiser
than most masters; lie teaches clikily
by example.”
Now this, as I• thought it would,
piqued Ned, whose groat failing was
to think himself immensely clever.
“Indeed, papa!” ho cried rather
scornfully. “And pray what is lie
teaching- me. .now, as lie is jumping
about like,that,?” For since wo had
got out of the house, Jer.ry was run
ning about like a mad dog, now
bounding a dozen yards furwai and, mvw
running back to ns and leaping up,
iforklng all the time and wagging Ids
tail, till I thought it would come off.
“Oh, can’t you seo, Ned?” 1 rt
plicd coolly. “It is his way of giv
ing you a lessen against cruelty to
animals. ’’
“I don’t see it a hit.”
“Why, he is batking pul ns loml
as lie cftti. ‘ ace how delighted lam
at goffing oiit-of-d- mt-8, just as you
are, Ned, when you rush out of
school! You see there is not as
much difference n. you thought be
tween you ; ad me; I,' and till other
animals, cam feel pleasure and pain
as keenly-ns yourself;'a i rein inber
that, tliu next tinr- you pull a [>oor
little fly’s wing oil” ”
“ Well, come, jinpa, I am not ern-1
to animals, whatever else I may be,”
protested Ned.
“I don’t think you a c. Ned,,inten
tionally,” 1 answered. “By thSiwav,
how is the last of these liit'e bull
linclies you and T’oiii i)tn;ie brought
home, a few days ago?”
“Oh, it tumbled into a pin of
boiling water, yi-de day, p. pa, so j
we were obliged to kill it,’’ said the
boy.
“Ah, then,-tint makes up the .ax,
does it not? Let us see: there was !
iLis; and one you slid fell out of tile j
nest; two the cat got; amb two!
wouldn’t cat, you lohl me, been it-c
you could not feed thtni as well as
j the old bird ■ did. So the whole six
I are dispo ed of now. Oil no, Ned,
| you are not cruel int- lilionally.”
j Ned began to see that I was poking
fun at him, so lie did not answer but
I walked on sulkily, kicking down tho
j thistles which happened to he rank
I along the lane side. By and by we
i got. to tbc river, where Jerry bounded
in after the sticks and atones Ned
kept throwii g for l.i a, into the water
YYu had amused on: selves for some
time with watching him pawing for
ihe stones or snuluhing the slicks
in his mouth, and after shaking him
self when he got back to land, bring
iiig us the recovered trcnsuie.
At la-t Ned, who never sulked for
a long time at once, laughed and
cried out to me: “ There, papa,
nowfSvhnt lesson is Jerry giving me
now? To fetch sticks out of the
river, I suppose; hut you surely
don’t want me to learn to do that
“No, Ned, I do not.. But .Ji-iry
is trying you now oh cpiite a different
tree !i, becau c he sees > in have alrea
dy forgot his last lesson to you about
cruelly to animals.”
“ YY'ell, how am I cruel now?”
“15y not remembering, Ned, that
it is a cold day for him to be so long
in the wate-. The sport was very
well at first both for us and the dog;
hut y< u mvir noticed that for tins
I last five minifies p or Jerrv has been
I shivering violemly wilt c id every
time he came out of the water. 1
did notice it, but I thou; It 1 would
see how long yolt wmld go on.”
“Oh, papa, 1 did not think of it.
Poor Jerry!” said Ned, blushing,
and then, caressing his dig, who gnl
lo| ed off a hundred yards a moment
afterward and soon raced himself
warm.
“So you see that Jerry observing
you did not mind bis first lesson, was
trying to give you another of quite a
different kind,” I win' on,
“Wlial was that, pupa?’
‘Why. I think be must have heard
you win n you were talking about
Mr. Wilson,” (tliis wistlu* name by
which ‘Old Goggles’ was known to
all the world except bis pupils) “and
saying hew much yon hated learning
those Gr ek verbs So Jerry said
to himself‘Now, M just sbewNed
practically wlial lie ought to do about
those verbs, and.— ’’’
“Well? Ah, papa you are slick
ing fast ?”
“Not, at all. ‘l'll give him,” says
Jerry, ‘a right goi and example once
for all of obedience, and cheerful
obedience, too, to show him he ought
to do things he dues not like, when
lie knows it is right,” r-o Jerry
plunged in time after time because you
were bis master and told him. And
though he baked the business, and it
made him as cold and miserable as
was possib'e, slid lie went on as long
as you thought proper, and never
even mtumiuiel. But I’ve no doubt
be said to himself, as he gave himself
that last .shake, ‘There! if Ned doesn’t
see what lie ought to do about those
veibs after all this, ho is n duller Ned
than 1 take bi nto be. He will surely
never lei himself be beaten by a
<hm.’ ”
* r<*
“ Well, papa, I won’t cither,” said
Nod, hanging down his head. “I
prom's.* you I wont slip them again.’’
“ Biavo, Jerry!” I cried, patting
the ]o >r deg’s fiend. “ You will be
Ned’s lost mister yet, I can see.
But halloa, what is this? Oh, Jerry,
l did not expect thin from you,” I
said a minute afterward, as Jerry
rushed up to a boggnr be saw,’and
begun barking furiously at him, nml
snapping at liis heels. “Come away,
Jerry, do -you hear? Bad dog!”
an 1 Jerry came hack, looking very
miserable mi 1 with his tail between
his leg:--, while Nd began dancing
about in glee and lu 'ghiug siyly in
my face.
“Ha, ha, papa!” lie exclaimed at
last. “Then Jerry does not always
touch right—l have caught you now.”
“Why, no, Ned,” I replied, “I
am sorry to seo that Jerry, after all,
is only like other masters—ho makes
mistakes sometimes. Ho has made
one now, I suppose. He is evidently
a dog of aristocratic tendency, who
di-likeu rags and tatters, and thinks
such things have no businijMi in the
world ;so it is ‘the proper TTimg’ in
his opinionion to show a imperii con
tempt, for poverty. 1 think I have
hoard young li-l'ows—in fact., I am
not qui o ceitnin that I have not
heard you. Nod—talking about
‘roughs’ and cuds’ meaning people
probably quite as good as themselves,
only poorer, Yes, you woto telling
me the other day about your cricket
mutch with the national school, and
how indignant you all were to he
beaten by t lie ‘cads.’ And perhaps,
after all, Jerry only wishes to sln-w
you the absurdity of this feeling, by
Id ting you see how silly it looks in a
(lo; r .”
However Jerry retrieved his char*
neler beffiro long; for as rfe passed
some farm houses on our leturn, n
little terrier came rushing out, and
in the most, insolent \yny began balk
ing and snapping at our. dug. But
Jerry, though ;t fitst ho made a
pause and began wagging his tail by
way of salute to the small stranger,
v-1 w] on he saw* the other's euninn
kci’otis, miiVieinUy s’piib, Hotted
on again in a dignified way, moving
m il her faster nor slower than before,
amHUevcr even taking the trouble
to look aside at the harking enr,
Then a big sin op-dog, however, big
ger than our deg, and evidently
wakened by tho noise tho terrier
made, came bounding out of the
yard til id also flew at Jerry, the lat
ter’s whole demeanor changed. At
first indeed he gave a gentle wag of
his tail, as much as to sav, “Now
let ns he fr mis and dent he silly,”
bat when he saw the sheep clog
also meant to annoy him, lie rushed
on him like "ligh'ening, rolled him
over, and in a moment sent him back
again f.i-tes tl an he came, and howl
ing from u bj’to in the leg. After
this, and a shell pmstiit, he resumed
ljin stately trot, while tlie terrier
contented himself for the future with
growling from within the gate.
“Good dog, .Jerry!” cried Ned,
enraptured at his fi i< nd’e triumph.
“I can tell what he meant to teach
me there, papa,” ho continued, laugh
ing. “He was showing mo that a
really brave fellow' wont touch a
little boy, even if the littlp c-iio is
rather impudent, but tbc in tint a
Ii g fellow' meddles with him lie goes
nt him like a brick.’’
“No bullying, eh?” J repied.
“ Well Ned, I perceive you are be-
L'imiiiig to find out ties cunning old
Joriy for yourself; so as I see the
pi-fitiiian coining with Iho letters, I’ll
leave you to your lo i s> ns with bim.”

Letter from Jno. Toler, Jr. '
Dear Boully—As Mrs. T. is de
' ermine J to sit up to-night until she
tinisiiei} lit 1 j T’s blouse, I’ve detef
111ii.iC'l to give you a few items; thiuk
i"f oorhaps you may therewith be
ansi *ieo in tilling out space, at least.
Wo have received all the numbers
of your paper; and as Mrs. T. thinks
it is “ neat, nice, rich, racy and good, *
of cqurse 1 ‘ ik so too. Yon need
never fear f ureas long as you suc
qeed in pk dug the women. Men
irfiiy talk about woman’s inferiority''
and subordination till their tongues
101 l out, of their mouths a foot—even
till tiiey “bust” out by the roots;
but- that, docs not make her any the
’less the “power behind the throne.”
But as there is a Mrs. Boully, I atn
wasting time to write any more about'
it to you, or any other benedict. As
you have begun, so perseveringly
proceed—as the brave little boy an
swered, wlnn questioned, “How do
you expect to remove such a large
pile of snow with so small a shovel?”
“ Keep at it, sir—that’s how.”
Wo want to read more of “Aunt
Patsy’s Christmas dinners,” and Sig
ma’s graceful rhythm. We wondered,
when we read “My Baby in the
Skies, if she over hatl any dear little
dead baby buried in the garden, with
eyes us blue as violets; because', irt
one (f her verses, she said tlmt the
laughter and joyousness of the oilier
dear little live babies, instead of nf-
fording her joy, hurt her; or “pierced”
her {I reckon “pierce” means to
hurt). Now, I know, and Mrs. TANARUS/
says she knows (and I’ll make oath
to what Mrs. T. says), that, because
one of a woman’s babies dies, she’s
not going to quit loving all the rest—
if* she really ever had any dear littkf
babies. lam afraid Sigma is like the
“gal ” I heard a little “jack-leg law
yer” toll about once, at nn “old-field
school” exhibition, who sat by the
roadside weeping, because, she said,-
“ 1 was thinking, suppose I’d got
married, and bad a dear little baby,
and my dear little baby had died!”
And she cried and cried.
YY r o do not aspire to be a critic,
and no malice aforothought prompt;*
us. llcally, we think the poetry pret
ty ; we cannot, ns we gladly would,
say beautiful; for it is not reasonable,
and “reason is beauty.” We hope
Sigma will not be discouraged. Thoro
is evidently some talent in the au
thoress of “My Baby ill tho Skies,'
which, if she is not “ too old to learn
new ways,” by proper culture and
energetic effort, may yet enable Uo
to even rival her sister-Georgian pcf—
elms', Cnnio Bell Sinclair.
Well, friend Boully, I must now
make my adieu, pro. tcm., for Mrs.
T. says that if I don’t quit scribbling,
and turn down the lamp, and help
her pat little T’s back till he get*
sound asleep, she’ll not bo reconciled
at all. Now, If you don’t know it,
Bill Arp and I do, that “ when tho
old ’omnn ain’t reconciled, tilings are
not as placid as a silver lake.” When
[ commenced, I thought I would
write you a little about a great man;
things; but “ the best laid plans of
mice and ruen,” etc, yon know, and
I will have to defer telling you all
about we farmers—our niggers; our
crops; how bad we are humbugged
in guanos; why we ought to plant all
cotton and no corn, except a roasting
ear patch, and what we think about
being taxed, under the administration
of “honest” Milt. Smith, to rais®
$2,500,000, now that we are poor?
when, before the war, when we were
rich—what?
Very truly, yours,
