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. Tine TIM-WEEKLY NEWS.

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.” I Grant to Visit tub South —A YVestgr/i dispatch says ihat the 1 resi dent on Monday, assured ad 1 gniion of Georgians th: t at cr ihe sessi a he should, in company with numbers of the cabinet, mate tut extol ded 1 Southern tour, visiting New Oilcans via Uichim-nd, Ruhigli, Columbia, Chalet-ton, Mobile and other places.

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, Jno. Toleh, Jn- Wavcrly Hall, Feb. 18th. IT;*?” A woman in Troy, N.
