iian Index.
In issuing this, the twentysfifth annual pros
pectus ot the Savannah Morning News, it is
unnecessary to tcvert tothe history of the pal
per. For a quarter of a century it has been
the conspicuous and consistent champion of
Southern sentiment and Southern interests.
The can er of the Morning News has been one
of singular prosperity. It made a place tor i *
sell from the start and has kept it, while a of
its contemporaries of that day. *nd all save one
of its later rivals, have perished by the way*>
side, and to-day it stands firmly established in
popular favor, with little or no competition
within the area of it* circulation.
The restless activity, energy aud enterprise
of the age have so extended the sphere of jour
ua'.iMn that the modern newspaper is literally
encyclopedic in character, comprising every*-
thing of specific or general in the vast domain
of art, science, literature, religion, politics and
the news. Its tendency is to occupy the field
of the pamphlet, the magazine and the.novel,
and it is gradually usurping tire functions ot
those vehicles of thought and information. Its
scope embraces the discussion of every subject,
which has been invested with interest by the
restless explorations of the human intellect,
and includes every topic calculated to instruct
or to entertain In the newspaper of ttwlay
the profotiudest exegetical article goes forth
surrounded and relieved by the brilliant essay
the caustic review, the pungent editorial, the
sparkling letter of correspondence, aud tlrera
cy paragraph—*he whole forming a Commune
of Htile-Lett es wherein the most noteworthy
literary effort has scarcely any advantage of
position over the poorest item.
It has been the aim of the conductors of the
Morning News to keep the paper fully abreast
oi this tide of progress aud improvement, and
to this end no expense has i e«*n spared. That
their efforts have beeu in some degree sufe- ss
full, is evident from the flattering encomiums
bestowed upon the paper by its contempora
lies, and from the large circulation and influ
ence t > which it has attained The plans of
he Proprietor for 1874 comprehend a nearer
approach to the ideal journalism of the time
'hau ever before The tea lures that have giv
en the paper a marked individna i‘y among
Southern journals, and which have brought it
up to i's present h gh standard of popularity
wl be retained aid improved upon. Events
ot in!crest transpiring in any portion ot the
world within reach «f the electric w res, will
find in h M in ng News a prompt and reliable
chronicler ; an i its Mvangements for gathering
lie news are such that all important omissions
of the telegraph are reasonably sure to be sup
plied by its staff of special correspondents ; so
that the readers of the papet are certain of
finding in its comprehensive columns the la
test and freshest intelligence, systematically
group'd and attractively edited.
Iu its editorial conduct the Morning News
will consistautlv pursue the policy which has
characterized it from the first. Questions of
national or sectional interest will be candidly
and impartially discussed, while every subject
of a political complexion will be treated with
an eye single to the wel are, the progress and
the substantial development of tbe material
resources of the South. The system of carpet
bag robbery and plunder that has impoverish
ed our section the popular practices ofcf official
knavery and corruption—and all those odious
features of Radicalism which have for their
object the prostration of sovereign States and
the disestablishment of civil government in
the South —will be held up to the severest
condemnation; and at all times, in season and
out of season, the paper will advocate the pri
mitively pure doctrines of a strict construe
liou ot the Constitution, and the administra
tion of the powers of the government—Execu«
tive, Judical and Legislative—within the
limits prescribed by that instrument. In sub.
serving the interest of a section that has been
so sorely oppressed and so pejsistently belied
the course of the Morning News will be, as
heretofore, either cautiously conservative or
sharply aggressive, as the nature of the cir
cumstances may seem to demand; and it will
be the aim and purpose of the conductors of
the aper to maintain its position as one of the
leading exponents of Southern opinion.
In the news department, the current local af*
fairs of Georgia and Florida wi 1 be chronicled
was the same picturesque and pungent assi«
duity that has made them such prominent and
popular features of the paper. The local de>
partment is iu charge of a gentleman of skill
and reputation, and will continue to be the
most complete and reliable record of home
events to be found in any Georgia journal.—
The commercial department is full and com
pete The figures are collated b) experts, and
their accuracy is such as to commend them to
merchants and businessmen in this and the ad
joining States. The local market reports are
compiled with laborious care and may be e.*
lied on a9 representing every phase ot Savam
nail’s commerce.
The Weekly News is a carefully edited
compendium of the freshest intelligence, and
comprises all of the most attractive features of
the Daily. It contains thoughtful editorials
upon matter of current interest, lively-, con
densations, characteristic paragraphs, and
latest telegrams and market reports up tothe
hour of going to press It specially commend
itself to the farmers and planters of Georgia
Florida aud the adjacent States, and is fur«
nished at a price Lhat places it within the
reach of all.
What is here said of the Daily and Week**
ly may also, with equal truth, be said of the
Tri Weekly News. It is oue of the best
papers of its kiud and contains everything of
interest ihat appears in the Daily, together
with the latest tehegrains and commercial intel
ligence.

( A Yost Terrible Tradgedy.
A dispatch horn Austin, Nevada,
to !?an Francisco under and te of the
2d inst. gives li e particulars of a
terrible tragedy in Smoky Valley in
that State.
It appears that Christopher Ueck
stein hud b>‘en for a long time jeak
ous of his wife in consequence of at
tentions paid to her by ts young mm
named Nat ham and they-lnd frequent
quarrels about him. On Thurs lay
a man named Osterhaus went to
Recksteims house, and no reponse to
his demands for admission, he broke
open the door. On thtf floor lay the
naked body of Airs. Rccksiein, cut
into pieces, and her head split open.
At her feet were the bodies of their
two little girls, with their heads
nearly seveia! from their
bodies, and near by were tile dead
bodies of Reeksteati and voung Na
than grappling as in death struggle.
Reckslein grasped in his hand a
large bowie knife covered with
blood, aud in Nathan’s hand was a
dragoon pistol two chambers of
which was discharged. There is no
living witness to the affair.
A gooiklooking Irishman, stop
ping at a hotel to warm hitn-elf, in*
quired of the landlord
“What is the news ?”
'lhe landlord, disposed t) run
upon him replied—
‘They say the devil is dead.
•And sure,” s iys Pat, ‘that’s news
in dade.’
Shortly alter, ho went tothe liar,
laid down some coppers, arid tesum
ed his seat. The landlord, always
ready for a customer, asked him
what he would lake.
’Nothing at all s ivs Pa l .
•Then why do you put down tlii
money
‘Arid sure, it is the custom in mv
own country, when a ch ip lost s his
daddy, to give him a few coppers
to pay for the wake.”
A Sad Story.
A little hoy having heard a beau
tilul story about a little bov aul a
hatchet, and how, because the li tie
boy wouldn’t tell a lie, he in time
got to be President of the Unit* and
States, was very much impressed by
it. Now it so happened that on i lie
last day of March lie was just ten
years old, a> and h s father asked hi n
what he wou'd like to have* for a
birthday (resent. Ve y naturally,
the boy’s answer was, ‘ A little
hatchet, if you pi* ase, papa.”
The lathe- bought him a li ile
hatchet, that very day, ami the boy
was so delighted that lie aciually
took it to bead with him.
Early next morning In got up,
dressed him-elf, took his li tie hat>*
che',and went out into the gardm.
There,as luck wouid h ive it,the fir-t
thing that caught Ins eye was his
lather’s favorite cheny tree. *‘My
eyes !” exclauned the little buy to
himself, “what a time my lather
would make if a fellow were to cut
that tree !” It w.is a wicked thought,
for it led him into tempiation. Tncre
was ihe tree—tall, straight arid fair,
standing invit ugly before him-—just
the thing lor a sharp liitle hatchet.
And there was the liatcliei, strong,
sharp and shinning—just the ihir.g
fora favorite cherry tree. Iu an
othf r moment the swift strokes of an
axe were heard in the siill morning
air, and, before long a s nail boy
was seen running toward the house
His father met him at the door.
‘Aly boy, what noise was that I
heard jmt now f Surely you have
not been at my favoiite cherry
tree!’
The boy stood proudly before hbn
but with downcast ey< sand flushing
cheeks.
‘Father,” he said, “I cannot tell
a lie. That cherry tree is .”
‘‘Say no more,” said the faih-.
er, extending Ids arms. “You have
done wrong, my son: and that was
my lavodie tree: but you have spo
ken the truth. I forgive y u. Better
to —.”
This was too mm It. The boy
tushed into h s father's at in .
‘Father,’ he whispered, ‘‘April
jooll I have .’t touched the ulu-ny
tree; but 1 most chopped the ol l
apple-stump to pieces !’
‘You young rascal, you !’ ci ied tlm
father, ‘ do you mean to say you
haven't chopped my cherrv inc!
April fool your old father, w 11 y. u i
Take of! your coat, s ; r !”
With a suppressed sob, the ’it tie
boy obeyed. Then, shutting his
eyes, he lelt his fithcr’s hand des
cend upon bis shrinking form.
‘My son,’said the lather, solemnly
as he stroked the little should r, “it
is the first of Apiil. Go thy way.”

No. 52.
Eidolon.
BY JAMES R. BAN PA LI.
Ah, sweet eyed Christ! Thy image smiles
In its Cathedral cell,
Shrined in the heaven enamored arms
Ot her who never fell;
And if my phantom eyes implore
And a more benignant beam,
Tis a nepenthe I would crave
For a memorial dream ?
Dea Leonie! here did’st thou hi eel
That musky summer noon,
As the kissed in ecstacy
The dimpled cheeks of June—
As the sunlight drifted o’er thy brow
A golden Wave of grace,
llright blending with the miracles
Os that atigrlic face.
Adorably Medonna like,
By this communion rail,
Thy raptured face, though rich with you ; h,
Was spir t lit and pale;
And oh, these opuient blue eyes.
Those Meccas of despair—
They, they were glorious Eden-isles
Lost in a lake of prayer!
.Saint Leonie! I saw thee fi t
Gazelle-like to the street;
And pure melodious angels led
Thy dainty, tinkling feet.
My rebel thoughts were peairel-winged.
Attendant upon thee,
Chasing thy loved and lissome shape
As Arabs of the sea.
Long did I love thee belle Creole,
As Gebirs loved the sun
And in the temple of my soul
Thou wast the eidolon;
Long old I love thee, belle Creole,
Where corsair billows rise,
And where the silver plauets soar
In unfamiliar skies!
Dark Carcovado! did I not,
With heart and soul aflame,
Carve on thy road monarchal brow
Her wildly, worsh-ippt and nr me—
Watching the homeward ships send by
Before the noble breeze,
Till memory with them wept away
Beyond the tropic seas !
Years, years had died and once again
I saw the spires of home ;
Then, armed with an undying hope,
I stood beneath this*dome,
But not within the pillowed aisle,
Nor by the sacred sign,
Could my bewildered eyes behold
The loveiiufes* of thine,
The sad November days had come,
And I eagerly fled
To find thee where the maidens deck
The kingdom t f the dead;
I found thee—yes, I found thee, love,
Beneath the willow tree —
With marble toss and immortelle
And one word—“ Leonie!”
The differ-nce between having a

other accidental.
