THE LABT OF THE FILIBUSTERS. Mayor Lester's Reply to the Governor - Theory as to the Rumors’ Origin. The filibustering scare ha* departed into the same unknown realms whence the yel low fever scare has taken flight, and it has left behind, it nothing but a few brief pages of official correspondence to tell that it evqr was. These will soon lie fl'ed away in the dusty pigeon holes of the public archive, and then the immense expedition which was to have invaded foreign territory and done marvelous deeds of daring and devil ment will be a thing of the past. It is now a certainty that the. filibustering expedition originated in the fertile imagination of some quixotic individual who should have charged upon himself if he wanted to con quer a windmill. His fevered brain caused any amount of trouble to American author ities, national, State and municipal, and had Savannah advertised as a birth-place and nest of a ilaugerous organization. Mayor Lester suggested that the whole matter may have originated with a pleasure excursion. About a month ago a number of Savannah gentlemen took a trip to Nas sau in a pilot boat and the Mayor thought that they may have been sighted somewhere and put down as the advance guard of a more powerful force to follow. The Mayor has written bis reply to J. T. Nesbit, Esq., Secretary of the Executive Department of State, who, in obedience to the request of the Governor, asked Mayor Lester to investigate the rumors concern ing the expedition. The Mayor said that ho has made a thorough investigation of ail the rumor* and can find nothing that would give them foundation, but he promises that should anything further come to his knowl edge he would at once advise Mr. Nisbit. THE FORDS’ BUCCSSB. Their Third Performance of the Season To-Morrow Night. The third performance of the Ford Dra matic Association will be given at the thea tre to-morrow night, when the charming comedy of “Home” will be presented. The members of this favorite amateur associa tion should receive the substantial aid of their fellow: citizens, and it eun be given in no better way than by becoming associate members. With from 100 to 150 members the association could readily guarantee a certain number of performances during the year and give each member reserved seats tor the entire season, which cannot be done with a smaller number. It is hoped that the ladies who honor the performances of the Fords with their pres ence will comply with the re quest of the management and not wear hats, especially high ones. If there is anything that mars one's enjoyment at places of public amusement, it is the abominable fashion of wearing headgear which obstructs the view of the stage and keeps people in the audience dodging their heads from side to side in order to see what is going on. If ladies have nothing to wear except tall hats, let them leave them at home and go to the Theatre without hats. The fair sex appeal- to muqh better ail vant age without hats, unless they are bald, and of course in that case they are not expected to expose their misfortune. SWEET GIRL GRADUATES. The Honors of the Girls’ Department of the High School. On June 34 the High School will close its doors for the summer and turn loose it pupils, some for o season of holiday, some forever.

There is no more attractive spectacle in sight from this planet at present than the celestial levee that Venus is holding in the evening sky, with the assistance of Saturn and those famous brothers, Castor and Pol lux. Venus is at present west of Saturn. Watch them for four or five evenings to come. Venus will siowlv approach Saturn and pass to the east of him. Venus is be yond all comparison the brightest of the group, yet Saturn is some 750 times as large as Venus. But he is upward of ten times as far from the earth as Venus is, and proportionately still further from the sun. mid it is the combination of these things that makes his light so pale in comparison with her- Both of the planets ontshine their companions, Castor and Pol lux, and here again the element of distance comes in to mislead. The fact is, if Castor and Pollux were as near to us as either Venus or Saturn they would turn night into day upon the earth, for they are suns, and big ones, too. There is lots of room in the universe. Local Personal. Rev. Dr. Bacon, pastor of the Inde pendent Presbyterian church, is expected to return from the North on Friday's New York steamer. Mr. E. J.

Immediately after the earthquake Dr. Richard Maury, of Richmond, vs., son of the illustrious Commodore Maury, wrote to the Huguenot church, of Charleston, sug gesting that an opportunity be offered for tlie erection of monuments in the church edifice to the memory of distinguished Huguenots throughout the whole country. The fact ihat tlie walls of the church u:e now nearly covered with beautiful tablets prevented, at, the time, the exact realization of tlie wish. It has been determined now , however, to carry out its spirit in the form of memorial windows, and tlie offer has mot with such favor that even before the general announcement of the readiness of file church to welcome such tributes, application has been received and granted for the privilege. The Hon. E. B. Wnshbunie, of Maine, form erly Governor of Illinois, and lata United States Ambassador to France, will place a memorial window in the church to the memory of his wife, a descendant of Gen.

The Pelicans Do Them Up to the Tune of 16 to 4. New Orleans, June 14.—Memphis was badly rattled to-day. Smith was hit Imrd, Phelan was hurt, Peltz was lame and I*de was sent off the field by Manager Force, McKeough going to short and Force to third. After Phelan was hurt Doyle was re called amidst applause, and Force played second. New Orleans took courage from the mishaps of Monqihis and played a bril liant game in every way. The slugging at times was terrific, the base running daring in the extreme, and the fielding excellent. Pujol made an easy mull' in centre but redeemed himself by a fine fly catch, making a double play of it by throwing a runner out at the piate. Somers pitched a strong game, although he was hit hard at times, and Mcvey gave him mag nificent support. Neither Crotty • nor the rest of the nine gave Smith much’ help and he pitched uuuer disheartening cu*eum stanoes.There Was no kickingaguiust the um pire to-day.

H. painted on its sail walked away from them both at the last rare, and there is no doubt of Capt. Brown's getting all the ballast in the shape of fail - ladies for tomorrow’s race that ue may want. The indications point not only to a pleasant, but an' exciting race for boats which will compete for the prizes in their different classes. Of Vital Importance. The Medical .Vet vs of 11th inst. contains an article by H. A. Hare, M. D., University of Pennsylvania, on “The Influence of Beer on Salivary ana Gastric Digestion,” giving tabulated results of practical experiments made with sixteen different beers. In this table the shown retardation of digestion varies from lm. 30s. to 1 hour 55m. l‘Js.. and the “Tannhaeuser” brand of the Bergner & Engel Brewing Companv occupies the proud position of first place. In these days of in digestion and dyspepsia a man ought to be careful what he drinks. We shall always! have the above brand on draught at our new saloon and pool room, which we shall open at ITO Broughton street, on Saturday, 18th inst., at 6 p. m., and to which grand open ing our friends and the public are hereby respectfully invited. Respectfully, Chas. Kolshokn& Bro. Borgalns in Clothing'. Participants of our bargain sales of Polo Caps, Sailor Suits and Knee Pants, know that we always do as we advertise. We have made a great reduction on our entire stock of clothing. Manufacturing all the clothing we sell, brings our prices low at the start, and we have them down now to rock bottom, in order to clear them out to make room. Now is the time to get real bargains in Clothing, Underwear, Dress Shirts and Nec,kwear, also a selection out of one thousand different sorts of Trousers, prices from ono dollar up to seven. "The Famous,” 140 Congress street, is the place for real bargains in clothing. Come and price them. If we cannot satisfy you that we give you the lowest figures ever heard of, then we will have to give them away in order to keep people from breaking the law against going bare-backed. Attention is called to the advertisement of Mr. M. Steinberg, who has removed his Sil verware, Clocks. Jewelry, Fancy Goods, etc., damaged by water at bislate fire, to the store, Hi 1-‘J Broughton street, opposite Lud.len & Bates, where he proposes to sell all of these goods regardless of cost and value during the uext four weeks. The reputation Mr. Stern berg bears, and the fine lines of goods ho sells, will, no doubt, insure him a speedy sale, as he does not intend to carry buck to his regular place of business any article, no matter how slightly damaged. The largest portion of his stock is only slightly soiled, and here is a good opportu nity to buy first-class goods at your own price. Lounging Shirts at B. H. Levy &. Bro's.
