The Important point is tint your praise was w*U bestowed. Justice Stanley Matthews may le unfit to sit with Mr. Lamar on the Supreme bench, but as for Mr. Tamar being unworthy to occupy the bench with Justice Matthews— bah! the idea is preposterous! Let the anti-Lamar press not repeat this “mikindest cut of all.’’ The President etui find in Washington plenty of material for the postnmstership of that city. There is a list of thirty appli cants from which to select. A district nmn ought to be appointed, even though Mr. Enright be the uew Postmaster General's special friend. General Master Workman Powderly may be described as a man of good impulses, whose views a is? frequently coirect and aometiines wrong, and whose undertakings have been in the main unsuccessful The time for his retirement from public notice seem* to have arrived. The Georgia State Poultry and Bench \ ■ •ociation, of which Mr. J. L. Hardeman is President anil Mr. Clark Grier Secretary, began its exhibition in Macon yesterday, and will continue it through the week. The •sMocmtion is in the hands of clever and competent gentlemen. A cable letter to the New York Sun says the Pope, among his other presents, has re ceived L2,0t)0 pairs of slippers. Doubtless ■II of these slqqiers were embroidered bv the hands of young ladies, anti perhaps each one hoped that no one else would think of a pa ir of slippers for a jubilee gift. Mr. nenry Laboucliere is said to seldom express himself favorably toward royalty, but he has an exalted opinion of the Ger man Crowu Prince, “whose pluck and man liness.” he says, “are above all praise.” No doubt royal personages have in them as! much human nature as any other class of people. Mr. Joseph Chamlx i lain and l.is gold- i rimmed spectacle- are exiiectod -.on to re- ‘ turn to this country. The two private sec retaries who accompany the great Britisher on all occasions say Mr. Chamberlain has succeeded in mastering the American cook- i Rrics, but the fisheries have Is-en tw ntuch Cor him. Tbe article on in the new edition f the International Cyclopedia will t*> prepared by Mr. T. K. Oglesby, who is now in Savannah, and who will, doubtless, give an authentic and interesting sketch of the principal events connected with the State. It is said that Mr. Oglesby will introduce veral rather special references to Sh van aab. Miss Amolio Hives, a young Southern author who has come into prominence, is now reaping one of the results of fame. The rerent publication of her portrait in Harper's Magazine has brought ber no end of letters from cranks who never saw her in person, but who want to marry h“r. Miss Rives is a very handsome young woman, as well as a modest one, und the first proposal of this kind that she received is said to have greatly discomfited her, but ns each mail (nought additional letters of the same im port. she learned to treat them in a very natter-of-fuet way. She hasn't decided, fcowwvor, to accede to any one of the propo- Tho Central and the Hotel Project. A little over a year ago a prominent citi zen of tliis city said that if the syndicate that was then trying to get control of the Central railroad succeeded in its purpose .Savannah would have 100,000 inhabitants within five yearn. That syndicate did get Control of the road, and has had the runnuga ment of all of its vast interests for a year. Tim railroad has prospered and Savannah lius prospered. The prospects of both are very bright indeed, (Savannah lias grown steadily, and the confidence in her future is shown by the nunilier of handsome resi dences and business houses which have been built within tho lost few mouths, the now ones which are projected, and the public improvements which the city authorities have decided to make during tho present yen r. There is one thing, however, which Sa vannah needs above all others, and which her citizens have been trying earnestly to secure for several years. It is a hotel in keeping with her importance and her pros pocts. It is believed, and for excellent reasons, that a hotel, such as there is in almost every other city of the size and pre tensions of this, and such as would ineot the demands of tlio thousands who either stop here or would stop here for a few days or few weeks ou their way farther South, or on their return to the North and West, and of other thousands in the middle and upper portions of the State who would like to visit a seaport at different seasons of the year, would contribute largely to Savannah's prosperity. Several efforts have been made to secure the amount of money necessary to build a hotel that would meet the wants of the city, but that now being made is the only one that has inspired confidence in its success. It is a very earnest effort, ami is being made with rare intelligence and excellent judg ment. It is at a point where the help of a strong hand can make it a magnificent success. Where is the strong hand to be found' The question ha only to be asked to lie answered. The Central Railroad and Banking Company is the strong hand, and if it consents to lie a willing band Savannah will very soon have a hotel of which she will l>e proud. There have been subscribed $130,600 in stock and $ltX),000 in bonds to the hotel project. If the Central railroad w ill sub scribe goO.OOO the hotel will cease to be a projected enterprise, and will be an assured one. Whatever additional amount is needed will be subscribed at once. Citizens of means who have hesitated about sub scribing will hesitate no longer. Indeed, they will be rather anxious to have a [art in what promises to be a very ]intent factor in assisting the city's advancement. And why shouldn’t the Central railnad help the hotel project ? There isn't one rea son why it shouldn’t and many why it should, so far a- the public knows. It is rich and strong. It is a Savannah institu tion and Savannah is proud of it. They have grown up, as it were, together, mutu ally assisting each other. One now a-ks help of the other, but the help is not to bo in the nature of a gift, but rather of a loan which, in the course of years, will be paid back with compound interest. As Savan nah grows she will attract in an increasing ratio trade and population. Her prosperity will help to make the Central more prosper ous, for whatever comes to her in the way of traffic and travel must do so largely bv means provided by the Central, whose dominion extends over land and se.v Not one, not a dozen, not a hundred peo ple make this request of the Central for encouragement and help, but a whole city— a city that believes she lias a splendid future, and that what she is now trying to secure will hasten the realization of tnat future. Shall she ask in vain for assistance from her greatest institution? From Congress to the Governorship. Although the first session of the Fiftieth Congress has just begun, and the members have not had time to settle down to busi ness, there is said to lie a disposition on the part of some half-dozen Congressmen to abandon law-making and give their talents a trial in an executive capacity. Mr. Glover, of Missouri, who a year ago mar ried a handsome and rich young Washing ton lady, says he wants to be Governor of liis Suite in order to bring up his children under Missouri influences. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, is a favorite with the younger element of the Bay State, and is toying in a half reluctant, half consent ing way with those who wish to put him forward tor the Governorship. Likewise Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey, who thinks Mr. Kaudall know s just a little more than any other living man, is willing to exchange his seat in Congress for the Executive Man sion at Trenton, and Mr Stewart, of Ver mont, who was Governor of his State back in tue seventies, is said to be casting furtive glances at the old love. Messrs. Burrows of Michigan, and But terworth of Ohio, are also numbered among tlio.-e who would not object to the swap, but it is urged that if both of them were to leave the Huuso the same year the old members would scarcely know the place, and the rafters of the building would no longer en joy an occasional shaking up from the re verberations of these two statesmen’s thuu deriug tones. Whether Mr. Blount, of Georgia, may lie included in the list is not stated, but,there is said to be a movement on foot to transfer him to Atlanta. It is no uncommon thlugfor Congressmen to leave Washington and take up the duties ol' Governor. Of the two jaisitions, the former is probably more pleasant to most l'.blic men, and the pay is frequently lletter. The office of Governor, however, is looked ii|Rjn as a stepping-stone to higher honors. It is net unusual for Governors to bo placed on Presidential tickets, and it is possible that oue or two of the gentlemen mimed above have their eyes on the Vice Presidency. The most fre quent. promotion from the Governorship stems to be to a United States Senatorship. A considerable number of Governors have in the past stop|xxl from the executive man sion into the Senate, a nil a respect able spr 1n k - ling of the prese.it members of that body have enjoyed tbe same promotion. Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, fiddled his way into Congress and thin competed successfully with his brother for the Governorship, from which he hopes to enter the Senate. Hon. J. Proctor Knott , who used to amuse Con gress with his speeches, was elected Gover nor, but never reached higher honors. Many strive, but few are successful. Dr. Mary Walker has got hold of a long pole, and i.s trying to bring down a good, ripe persimmon, in the shape of a govern ment position. She wants to be a special examiner in the Pension Bureau, with a salary of >2,500. If the doctor’s pole is longer than that of the other aspirants, she will get the prize, but it is doubtful if such is the case. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JANUARY 3. 1888. The Jubilee Day. I The dispatches indicate that the celebra tion of the jubilee of Pope Leo XIII. in tho Vatican was one of unprecedented magnifi | canon. It is said that $200,000 was expended j in furnishing the Vatican and in prepara j tion of the superb musical programme for ’ the mass. The occasion was well worthy of Iso large an expenditure. Tho Catholic church has greatly increased in material ! wealth since Leo XIH. became Pops?. His j influence has been felt in a hundred ways, j and in all parts of the Christian j world. He possesses great intellectual I power, and knows how to use it to the best j advantage for the promotion of the great j interests committed to his care. The sound ness of his judgment has been shown in more than one instance in cases in which liis advice and influence have been sought in the affairs of nations. Tho career of Pope Leo XIII. is remark able for the uninterrupted successes which mark it. He has succeeded in aiiout everything lie has undertaken, which shows that before taking any im portant step he carefully considers every thing that has any bearing upon it. On March 10 he will lie 78 years old, and though his appearance is venerable his mind is as clear and strong as it was when, as Cardinal Food, be was chosen successor of Pius IX., on March 3,1878. His education for the priesthood began when when he was eight years of uge, in the Jesuit college at Viterbo. Ho was soon transferred to the Jesuit college at Rome, where he quickly made bis mark as a brilliant scholar. Whan he was 36 years old he was appointed prel ate to the household of Pope Gregory XVI., and he is the only one upon whom such a distinction was ever conferred at so oarly a period in life. A few months after his ap pointment he was formally ordained a priest, aud in celebrating his first mass be was assisted by his elder brother Joseph. The whole world knows of his rapid rise to distinction in the priesthood. He was first appointed delegate to Benevento. His ex ecutive ability at once attracted attentiou, and it was not long before he was made Archbishop of Damietta. He was sent a.-. Nuneio to King Leopold's C-.urt in Brussels, where his engaging manners made him a favorite. In 18U> he reo> ivei the ap pointment to the See of Perugia, and in 18.75 he was made Cardi nal In 1817 he was called to Rome and made the C'hambe; lun o: Pope Plus IX. There are few wao haveoovup.csl a great place in the world w 10 have shown themselve- so eminently worthy of it The jubilee presents which the P .pe has received are many and costly. They were displayed in the Vatican or. Minday. They were sent from ail parts of the world by crowned h '-ais and wealthy private citizen-.

It will, of course, be located in Rome. __ A most remarkable st >ry of trout fishing conies from Capo Breton Island, in the ex treme northern part of Nova Scotia. Thi narrator's hero is himself, and he says that one winter, Lung tired of salt l*?ef. he went out t catch trout for hi- table. In that locality the fi-h are quite plentiful when the waters of Luke Ainslee arc sufficiently warm tocaus- tbi-m to seek a cooler retreat, aud on the day in question th- conditions must have be"n unu-uallv favorable, for the fist, erman's only trouble wins in the exertion of landing the numerous catches. So eager, j indeed, were the fish that they would often j jump above the water to get the bait, and the sportsman concluded o> facilitate mut ters by dangling the hoi: about a foot ab >ve the water and getting on hi knee* and giv ing the fish, as fast as they jumped up. a dexterous box on the ear- that son* them sprawling on the ice. Tiio plan w irkl .11 mirably, and the narrator’s hand was kept so busy that he was finally forced by sheer fatigue to put mi end to ih novel pastime. What is called a conservative estimate places the quantity of fish secured at over 1 four barrels. The gentleman was probable willing to return to salt beef Ia fore he ex hausted the supply on hand. What a para dise for anglers that particular stre im must be! And what an iuventivo genius that lone fisherman is! There is a wealthy and well-known man in New York who, on yesterday, resumed his business, and will pursue i* indefatiga bly until next Christmas. Thus statement contains no unusual information, a. there are many thousands or men all over the* country who have done something very simi lar. The interest attached to this particu lar case, however, liee in the fact that the gentleman in question, although for fifty one weeks in the year a model of sobriety, devotes the llfty-seeoini week, after sending his family off on a visit, to drinking and debauchery. As regularly as Christmas rolls round, he collects together a half dozen companions, locks himself and them in his elegant mansion, and has a week of exceedingly “high jinks," to quote from the classics, in their company. Madness rules the hour to such a degree that fre quently the exjiense incurred for the mend ing and replacing of furniture and crockery are almost equal to the other bills of jtheoc easion. The gentleman explains that during the year he is so overburdened with busi ness and responsibility that but for this “relaxation'’ he would go mad. As there are other modes of relaxation equally effec tive and more beneficial, it is a Question if thq release from business care; is all the gentleman is after. Chicago com sto the front with anew wrinkle, and a very ugly one. A hoarding house keeper of that city compelled an im pecunious father to pawn his daughter. In oilier w ids, the purent left his child in the boarding house as security for an upaid bill, and, as he is unable to raise the money, the woman who runs the house refuses to let her depart. It must lie a very undesirable kind of father who,under tbe circumstances, can't raise money, but that does not prevent the new departure in pawning from being a pernicious one. It might after a while ex tend to wives, and in the course of time lovers, who ai-e often impecunious, might be required to pawn tlielr bet. girls. The movement ought to be nipped in the bud. The scrap book is almost as deadly a weapon as the parallel column, and Demo crats who keep such a boi k would do well to paste In it this item, to be used at some time in demoralizing t ; e bloody sliirters. In the Republican eulogy pronounced on Gen. Mahone recently as a candidate for United States Senator, it is set forth that “he was one of the drat to bare his breast to the enemy and to lioar the bonny blue flag through twenty-seven battles.” This “treasonable” uttcrauco comes from a Re publican source.

Smoke win certainly play an important part n the warfare of the fwtuiV.

On the other hand, ever since the introduction ol‘ modern ordnance autl rapid rifle tire, it has been felt that the lit) a volume of smoke which would Ik? beVhed forth during a battle of the. present day would probably prevent the use of big guns to best advasrag-*. Smoke, in fact. may. accord mgtoctrcmnfetauceg.be either a great assist ance or a grave impediment to warfare. The ideal state m things is, of course, one in which the production of smoke shall be controlled, so that either a clear atmosphere or a clouded cue may. as nc'Hi may arise, lie created around a battery or ship tu action. This ideal has now, to some extent, been attained. It is found that smoke, as it issues from the muzzle of a heavy gum can in? almost instantaneously precipitated by me ms of a simple electrical apparatus.

Want to be Great Lawyers all at Once. From the Boston Advertiser. A great many young lawyers come out of the law schools every year who find it difficult for many mouths to make enough to Uvo on in their profession. It is hard to get money for office rent, hard to keen the ball rolling or to follow* the social cue. In former days, in the days when all lawyers took their turn in training in some old lawyer's office, young men were glad to pay a small sum yearly for desk room and for a chance to serve under a wise head. A le gal friend of the Athenian declares that now-a days it is impossible to find a young man willing to senre an apprenticeship such as be served, eveu for jay. He said he would be glad to give onii-e room and a reasonable salary to any youug fledgeling who could make himself useful while gaining years and wisdom. But, strange to say, it Is not possible to Ilnd a young lawyer willing to take the training and money. ITEMS OF INTEREST.
