Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the mast direct and quickest routes. “Sleeping on the Green” is a popular song in Savannah just now. Mrs. Cleveland is proving of great value to her husband as “the great anchor on the right.” The loafers are excusing themselves just now, upon the plea that they are “para lyzed by the thermometer.” The man who says “Never mind the weather so the wind don’t blow,” must be impervious to both heat and cold. The handies of most of .the imported toothbrushes are made from the thigh bones of horses. The fact is not a pleasant one. The prompt conviction of men known to be criminals will go further toward making the laws respected than anything else that can be done. A by no means inconsiderable number of Georgia farmers are trying to figure out whether a fair puts more money into their pockets titan it takes out. General Paine's yacht, the Volunteer, is nearly ready to take her first sail. Site is said to be a beauty, and it is believed that she will be wonderfully fast. If he succeeds in becoming the ruler of Bulgaria, Prince Ferdinand may live to be as anxious to get out of that country as he now seems to be to get into it The Springfield (Mass.) Republican is “booming' Robert T. Lincoln for the Presi dency. The hot weather has caused the Re/mUiitin to be attacked by a mild type of insanity. The French seem to be under the impres sion tliat Franco can accomplish as a republic w liat it could not accomplish as an empire. Perhaps it can, but republics thrive best iu peace. The number of murders recently commit ted iu this country is appalling. There never was a time when the vigorous enforce ment of the laws was uioro urgently needed than at present.

The ex-Geuutor has not forgotten tho ingratitude of bis party associates. Boston is said to be more active in stock speculation than any other city in the country. Since Boston departed from or tbodox ways in religion, she has exhibited great interest in all kinds of gambling. Quite frequently itis announced that srmo gunner, or bicyclist, or other sportsman litis “broken the record.” This is ail well enough, biit it is somewhat strange that no plowman, or cottou-hoer, or other laborer ever breaks the record in his specialty. It is announced that the visitors at tVest ern summer resorts are dazzled by the beauty of the Southern girls who are sum mering out there. It is probable, however, that the Westerners will not kick against this sort of “Southern outrage.” Mr. Biaino has dcvelojied u wonderfully sympathetic vein since he went to England. Ho sympathizes with everybody he meets and with n gc<xl many ho does not meet. It is noticeable, however, that lie kisq well out of the way of tho poor Irishmen. Government Isuids are said to bo rapidly concentrating in the bands of large holders, and the interest checks oil the registered 4’s have lately decreased from 00,(00 to :iO,oon. It is more apparent than ever that a small clique controls the funds of tho country. The Democrat* of Ohio have made a gold selection for Governor and have adopted a got si platform. Thomas Edward Powull, of Delaware county, is a staunch Democrat, who believes that Mr. Cleveland is making a good President and that tho revenues of the government ought to bo reduced by re ducing the tariff, and not by talcing the fax off whisky, and the Democrats of Ohio en- tha st-.n;;) vii’tvz. A Feature of Convict Camps. While the Logklnture is inquiring into the management of tLo convict camps and the complaints of abuses alleged to be com mitted there, would it not be well to make a pretty thorough investigation of the extent to which freedom is permitted to convicts who arc known as “trusties?” There is an impre. ..ion that there are a great many con victs who eujoy about ns much liberty as if they wore not under a sentente to hard labor in ti;o penitentiary for a term of yours. This impression may l* erroneous, and if it is it ought to bo corrected, and if it isn’t proper stops ought to lie taken to compel the lessees to resjiect the action of the courts. It is tho purpose of tho State that convicts shall lie punished for their crimes. It costs a great deal of money to secure their con viction, and it is an outrago upon justice and a clear indication of contempt for the State's authority for minor officials to nul lify tho purpose of tho courts by granting convicts privileges which relieve their prison life of about all of its disagreeable and bur densome features. The New Orleans Picayune, a few days ago, called attention to this matter of “trusties,” and quoted from a number of the Louisiana parish papers pub lished in the vicinity of the con vict camps, to show that many of tlie convicts enjoyed about ns much freedom ns if they wero under no restraint what ever. One instance was mentioned where a “trusty” was found in the town of Iber ville roaming about the streets and conduct ing himself in a very insolent manner, and when told by tiie fawn marshal to go back to his camp he replied that his bosses per mitted hint to go and come as lie pleased and that he didn’t propose to pay any atten tion to the instructions of the marshal. In another instance a number of “trusties” de termined to escape, and to get the clothing and money necessary to make their under taking successful attempted to rob the house of a planter in Ascension parish and would have murdered tiie planter hud they not been prevented by the timely arrival of tiie planter's son. The Legislature ought to find out how many “trusties” there arc in each camp, and who confers the degree of “trusty” on a convict. It would also lie interesting to know by what authority the degree is con ferred, and whether it is not conferred upon more white than black convicts in proportion to their number. Reports now and then find their way into print that a convict that hits influential friends is treated more like a guest in tiie camps than as a convict condemned to hard labor. Tho Legis lature should find out, if possible, whether the lessees ever nullify tiie sentences of the courts by treating convicts more leniently than it is intended they shall lie treated. This matter is of more importance than it appears to be at first glunce, and the legis lature will act wisely by giving it careful attention. Uphold the Officers of the Law. Tiie sentence imposed by Judge Adams niton Fogarty is doubtless very generally ap proved. The Judge is evidently determined to do what he can to lessen tiie number of crimes of violence in this community; and ovefy good citizen ought to give him every possible encouragement in this work. He said very justly that he could not understand the puri>se of the jury in coupling n recom mendation to mercy with their verdict. There were no extenuating circumstances connected witli the case. If Fogarty were accountable, and tho jury clearly considered that lie was, then there was no excuse what ever for his deed, and if he wero not ac countable he should not have been tried for tho crime with which ho was charged, but should have been sent to tho insane asylum. Of course tho Judge has sympathy for Fogarty’s family, and no doubt every citi zen who knows anything üboul the ease sympathizes with them, but sympathy ought not to lie permitted to interfere with duty. There is nothing to be said in condemnation of the efforts which have been made tosliield Fogarty from the jicnolty of his crime. His family hav’o done, and are doing, just what other fami lies under like circumstances would do, but tiie court, the prosecuting attorney and tho jury had tiie good of society to consider, and that is of far more impor tance titan tiie feelings of the family >f the criminal. The laws are made for the pro tection of society, and if they are not en forced in letter and spirit they will afford no protection whatever. 1s t every citizen assist in bolding up tho hands of those who are entrusted with administering the laws and there will soon tie a noticeable decrease ia tho number of crimes of violence. It is strange tliat the negroes of Atlanta should opiHi.se Representafativo Glenn’s bill preventing the coslucation of the races in tbo Atluufa University. These aro the same negroes who, not long ago, so earnest ly opjiosed anything like a mixture of tiie races in schools tliat they sought and ob tained none but negro teachers for negro schools in Atlautn. In this case it is more than likely that tnoro is a whito man “in the woodpile” instead of a “nigger.” If there is, he ought to bo run out so that lie may be known. Mr. John D. Perry, of St Louis, father in-law of Mayor Francis, of tho same city, says: “We arc going to bnvo President Cleveland in St. Louis iu spite of the Repub lican press, and we shall do him honor when lie comes.” Mr. Perry might add that not only will the people of St. Ia uis honor tho President should ho visit their city, but that they will give him a rousing majority next year. 1 What is tho trouble with this man f” asked his honor at the Mayor's Court yesterday morning. “lie was found (’routing a breeze on tho corner of Bull and President streets,’, replied tiie officer. “Hot him g<>! let hint go!”exclaimed his honor. “Tho man who creates a breeze in t his sort of weather is a public benefactor.” Certain citizens of Kansas make n grave charge against Prof. Wiley, of tho Agricul tural Department. They assert tliat he is secretly in tiie pay of European beet-root sugar producers to make a had showing for the sorghum industry. Prof. Wiley ought to demand an investigation. Roscoo Colliding seems to liave convinced the Republicansthatiieisnota disapimintcil man. Indeed, they are now much iii|iosed to curry favor with him, hoping, no doubt, that ho will aid Mr. Blaine next year to forget tho disappointment to which he was subjected in IBS4. Of twenty-six tramps recently arrested in Central Park, New York, not one was un der (10 yeans of ago. It would seem that a man (10 years of age would rather do any thing cltiuui tramp. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1887. The Naval Stores Eill. Senator Brantley's bill to regulate the in spection and sale of naval stores, published in our dispatches yesterday, does not ap pear to have treated a great deal of inter est among tl.e naval store's factors ar.d buy ers in this city. Of course they are inter ested in all legislation which in any way tout hes their business, but apparently they do not regard this bill as particularly hurt ful or iicneficitfl to them. Some of the fac tors at first thought about calling a meet ing of the Board of Trade to consider the bill, but after they had studied it a little more carefully it seemed to be the better opinion that it called for no organized ac tion from them. Home of them said, and it is not improbable that they voiced tho sen timent of the majority, that they would pre fer no legislation at all, because they did not think there was occasion for any, but that there was nothing in Senator Brant ley's bill to call for aggressive hostility to it front them. Tho hill fixes the inspection fees at just w hat the inspectors now receive. It is true that the producers pay the factors a little more than these fees, but that is a matter of contract between tho producers and factors, which tho contracting parties can arrange to suit themselves. As for the praetico of “homing” the fac tors say that they are not, tujd never have been, guilty of that, and, hence, there is no necessity for prohibitory legislation with re gard to it, so far as they are concerned. The bill scents to legalize the practice with ro spect to buyers. At least it permits them to remove the inspectors' grade marks and to substitute their own, provided they do not use those of the inspectors. The practice of "horning” would, perlitjps, be abandoned altogether if the purchasers in the final markets were to demand of their brokers or buyers certified copies of the cer tificates of inspection which tire furnished the buyers here. The practice of “horning” might also be prevented, perlia;®, by requir ing tho inspectors to brand their grade marks upon the barrels, but that would be a rather tedious and expensive method, and might not meet with favor even from the producers if they were called upon to bear part of the expense of it. From present indications tho Brantley bill w ill not have active opposition from the naval stores trade hero. The Oglethorpe Seminary. The announcement elsewhere in this issue of the opening of the Oglethorpe Seminary for girls this fall in Savannah will doubtless be received with general satisfaction. It is a singular fact that while Charleston has nearly always had a fine school of this class it is many years since one existed in Savan nah, if indeed any were ever here coming up to the projier level. The result is that for a long time many daughters of parents .able to afford the expense have been educat ed at the North, while at almost anytime equal advantages could have been combined for them here at far less cost. The item of cost, however, is not the only consideration making a finishing school in Sa vannah a prime necessity. Equal in importance and of gravity upon the lives of the girls, and to the society of which they subsequently^become members, is the tone of feeling and thought imparteil to them by tiiis foreign education, and the loss of a sincere appreciation of those things really admirable in their own city and State. It is most fortunate that a lady of culture and capacity has at last undertaken the task of bringing together the ability for instruction in all branches that can bo found here, and of organizing a school which proposes to send out its girls as completely educated and equipped as they would be anywhere else. In this there is lfbthing antagonistic to the purposes of a public school system. Education costs money, and it goes without saying that it is not intended that tho public schools shall afford all the educational ad vantages to be found in the best private schools where tho amount of instruction given to each girl separately is necessarily greater than that furnished by the State or city to scholars bearing a much larger pro portion in number to the teachers. The new enterprise certainly deserves encourage ment, and there Is every reason to believe that it will meet with success. Savannah is a beautiful city and hus many attractions. Why should it not add to its attractions seminaries of such excellence as to draw students of both sexes front all parts of this State, and even from other States, to enjoy its educational facilities! Every time Jay Gould turns around the Wall street financiers in New York lose their heads. Somebody discovered ustcamer chair, the other day, displayed in front of a furniture store with Gould’s name and tin words “Steamship Etruria” painted on the back. Immediately there was a rumor that Gould was going to Europe and tho Wall street financiers rushed about excitedly in quiring: “What is lie up to now;’’ A prompt contradiction of the rumor pre vented stocks from taking a tumble. It ir. stated that Mr. James Fenner Leo, of Maryland, may reconsider his determina tion to resign tho secretaryship of the American Legation at Vienna. It scents that tho report that he had already resigned was untrue. Before the appointment of Gen. Lawton ns Minister, Mr. Lee's salary was about $0,1)00. It will now he reduced tosJLHKi, that being the regular salary of tho secretary. Mr. 1-eo is regarded its of great value to the legation. C. A. Buckley, tho blind Democratic poli tician of Matt Francisco, has just returned from Paris, where he went to consult ocu lists as to the probability of regaining his sight. They gave him hopes of its restoration in the course of time. But whether lie ever sees sunlight again or not, it is likely that ho will continue to lead the Republicans of his city a dance they will not like. The Courier, of Koine, fought prohibi tion in that city with great vigor, but now that the tight is lost amiouuces that it will place no obstacle in the way of tho enforce ment of the law, but will lend its aid in up holding it. This is tho right course. If a majority of the people in a community say that they want prohibition, tho minority should cheerfully acquiesce. About 1,000 female educators attended the teachers’ meeting recently held in Chi cago. Only one of them called herself a “lady teacher.” The others, when s|leaking of themselves, used the word “woman." They wisely refrained from enoroaching upon the rights of the “wash ladle*" and “cook ladies” of the land. Bon Butler Is In Maine having a generally good time.

Edward E. Kiddhr. Fly Fishing Extraordinary* From the American Angler. Oscar Sinedberg, the excellent lawyer, culti vated. bright and \sdnninggentlemau, whose stui ami untimely death near ten years since brought grief to the Hearts of ft host of friends in New York and elsewhere—he and the writer, some time in the •fifties,” were wading down the Beaverkill side by side casting flies with “emu lative zeal.” The sun had just disappeared behind a west* ern mountain, while its rays glided the tops of many more that encircled us. The soft evening air was filled with bird and insect life and the trout were leaping in every pool. It is needless to say wc were content and happy. Smedberghad straightened his long line be hind him and commenced making the forward east, when liis hand was suddenly arrested. We both instinctively looked back and saw that a swallow had taken one of his dies and was soar ing aloft like the lark. Fora moment Smod berg stood a:; if paralyzed, his rod perpendicu lar, his reel (which chanced to have a weak click i singing as the line was rapidly drawn ofl When he bad taken in the situation he reeled in until only his easting line separated the bird from the rod, lowered its tin so that 1 was ena bled to seize the leader, tako the bird in my hand and remove the hook from its bill. For tunately the bird was not seriously injured, and on being released went its way, a rejoicing, but doubtless much astonished swallow. Upon another stream, at another time over a score of years, another friend and I, while en gaged iu tty ILshing, stopped at a farm bouse for a glass of milk or water. I leaned my rod against the house, entered it and made known my wants. Before they were supplied I heard my rod fall, and upon looking out of the door saw it moving oft in tow of an old hen, evident ly in a very excited state of mind. She, to gratify her own appetite, or that of one of the brood of chicks that surrounded her, had taken one of my tiles as it swung in the air. With some difficulty, and amidst much cackling, “fuss aud feathers," I secured the fowl, removed the hook aud gave the mother to her offspring.

In fact he made his living by whist ling. In the summer he visited the watering places by the seashore, in the mountains—any where in fact that people gathered on pleasure bent .

She fought him off as best she could until the uproar attracted a squad of other hogs, which rushed to the sow’s Assistance and succeeded in driving the coon away. The latter, however, after abandoning the contest, stood, bristles up, sulkily watching the hogs, whereupon a woman who was looking on threw a stick at him.

He took a “row,’’ as it is called, with the numbers 11,13, IV, playing a§s “gig,” a§s “saddle,” and $2 50 each that the numbera-would either come out in the first nine drawn or in the last nine, twelve being the entire number to come out.
