Hon. J. J. McDonough, Mayor,Savannah, Cla.:
Sir—On tho subject of voiir late communica
tion to me, the improvement of harbors and
deepening of waters at their entrances,
much has been said nnd I see nothing new to
say. It seems to me a self-evident proposition
that it is the imperative duty of the general
government to aid as far as possible in obtain
ing relief from the present and King existing
obstructions. lam cordially with the people of
Savannah,‘Qalveston, Charleston or any other
seaport in their efforts to get deep water. The
mistake that has been made heretofore is that
each city in endeavoring to aid itself has sought
to decry the needs of others. The question is a
national one, should be regarded as a national
one, and the relief should bo asked of the gen
eral government on the basis that no part of
the country can be benefited without benefit
ing the whole country. If I can at any time
aid your people in your very laudable attempts
to obtain outlets to the ports of tho world, I
shall gladly do so. Respectfully,
Joseph A. Shakespeare, Mayor.

A CREOLE LADY.
Harry C Brown Sees the Portrait of
One in New Orleans.
My visit to New Orleans in tbe Interest of
the Improvement of Savannah’s harbor
has been exceedingly pleasant. The pro
verbial hospitality of the south finds a full
exponent iu the Crescent city. New Or

leans is a fitting gateway to the great Mis
sissippi valler.
Tbe officers of the board of trade here
were exoeedlngly kind to me and through
their hospitality I have been the recipient
of many favors. '
In addition tc the favors I have rsoeived
here one of my chiefest pleasures has been
to hear the liberal expressions of tbe people
toward Savannah, the Queen citv of the
oouth Atlantic coatt.
ihe people of New Orleans want to see
Savannah made the great seaport of the
Atlantic coast, and will give us their tup-
The mayor of the city, Hon. Joseph
A.Bsakespeai'e,has already given us a strong
letter, which will lie followed by appropri
ate action of the citv oouncil.
It has been my pleasure to visit the river
front of this city, and I stood In profound
admiration of its magnitude. Indeed, the
orescent front of the river here furnishes
fifteen miles of the most magnificent river
wharfage in tbe world.
But I must depart from my description of
the hospitality and business development of
New Orleans and give you one of the evi
denoes of the refinement and oulture of her
people.
Sitting with that elegant gentleman,
Secretary Henry H. Smith of the board of
trade, 1 remarked that I had often heard of
the wonderful beauty of the ereolo women,
but did not think that up to that moment I
hail seen a lady who oould be considered a
typsof that partloular class. He describe
at some length the distinctive form and
feature of the lovely creole women and then
said: "Just stop into our sitting room and I
will show you a genuine type of the creole
woman." We were ushered into the parlor
of the board of trade and there upon the
wail hung one of the most charming
pictures which I have over seen. It covers
a stretch of canvass about 6xß feet and
is set in a heavy gilt frame.
Beneath the picture upon a heavy gilt
shield aro these words:
‘‘LOUISIANA ALLEGORY."
—by -
J. GENIN.
The picture was purchased at great oost
from Mgr. (Jenin, tho author, and
the woman who stood as model for the art
ist to draw his inspiration from as he trans
ferred her lovely form and features to can
vas, is said to have been his own wife. The
artist and his model still live happily in
this oity.
But tbe entire conception of the painting
shows the eye of a great artist. First is
the life size portrait of a wonderful oreole
beauty, wrapped in the light drapery
suited to the soft and mellow warmth of a
summer clime. The dark waving tresses
are artistically drawn Into a knot just be
low the orown of tbe head, and the ends of
those luxuriant trossss fall gracefully over
her neck and shoulders. The coil of lustrous
black is adorned by a cluster of
cotton leaves and blossoms. Tbe dark
riohness of that olive complexion is relieved
by the tinge of rich blood that mounts to
her cheek ond seems in mellow pink tinges
to underly and peep through the velvety
finish of tho neck and shoulders. The
elegantly molded arms are bare, which tbe
light drapery of a Grecian costume covers
but does not all conceal a queenly from a
exquisite outline. In her right hand is an
Instrument representing the rudder of stats,
and her face and eyes bear an expression of
matronly dignity and equipoise which
would do honor to a queen. The woman is
standing with a bale of cotton on
her right and a pile of rice iu
the sheaf on her left, while further to the
right is a field of tobacco and the left a field
of Bugar cane. Iu the background is a typ
ical Louisiana plantation home with its
magnificent live oaks, its sugar mill and
old-fashioned dwelling.
Above all this and in the distance are two
suggestive scenes. The one on the left is a
picture of war. A heavy cloud hangs over
a battle scene, which perhaps represents the
battle of New Orleans, while on the right,
surrounded by a halo of rich sunshine, is a
ploture of peace, a plowman and bis plow
uuil reaper.
Having studied all tbe points of this great
painting, my eyes again turned to that
wonderful face a.id those rich and fathom
less eyes, and I thought that la that great
womanhood whioh were there represented
were all the most potent forces of homes,
civilisation and nations. The deep aid
fathomless resources of woman's power are
not and never will be known. By the power
of her Influence nations either rise to gran
deur or sink into ruin. By the sunshine of
her smiles and the strength of her encour
agement nations have risen to greatness,
peace and happiness, and by her frowns
and her cunning they have been plunged
into gloom, war and despair.
But this picture is a type of southern
womanhood, and of that womanhood every
American is proud. To that womauhood
we owe our advanced civilization, and,
thank God, it has not been by the ballot, not
by the wornau In offioe, not ny the assump
tion of any of the prerogatives of the sterner
sex, but by the holy influences of wife,
mother and sister, as queen of the Ameri
can home and the American heart, that our
women have elevated and refined our lives,
our homes and oar civilization, and will
ever reign supreme. H. C. Brown.
Tfce Teifa'r Ac-.demy and the Church.
A gentleman with whom I was convers
ing lately on the subject of opening the
Telfair academy on Sunday 9aid signifi
cantly, and, as I think, wo shall see truly,
that Sunday belongs to the eburob, the
Lord’s day to the Lord.
It may not appoar at a first view what
religion has to do specially with art, that
they are m the relation of cause and effect.
Yet nothing is more certain. Religion is
the cause and art tbe effect. Civilization,
however, intervenes; religion first, then
civilization, then art.
It was a rather startling statement, be
cause, to me at least, so new, that I came
across iu my reading lately, that the great
engine of the civilization of the Greeks was
the introduction of a national religion.
What, is the world, then, In Its most
illustrious example of civilization and of
art, indebted to religion? If not, to what?
Can any one say? Can any one. one may
indeed ask. imagine what? Well, but how
ever it may have been with the civilization,
it is positively certain that religion was tbe
mother of Grecian art. The art itself of
the Greeks proves it. In what was the art?
Iu temples, in altars, in statues of gods and
goddesses. A never dying proof this, that
art and religion are in the relation of cause
and effect.
An evidence of the same great truth ap
pears in the remains of the temples of
Egypt and in the temples and the sculpture
of the Romans. Alas, so we have to judge
by effects, by ruins of what was; as indeed
w e must so judge. If that ancient and
great Alexandrian library bad been pre
served to us we should have been doubtlees
able to see all or most of the workings of
this cause to eflect.
Let us see how it has been in a more his
toric period, of which we know something
more, something of the triumphs of
ligion over barbarism; let us take a brief
example (brief for I must not linger, essay
ing history and spoiling an eseayl. let us
take the one example of the condition of
the Franks before the Roman nvasion of
Gaul, contrasted with tho oomlition of tbe
French of our time. Thus writes a well
known French author. "The people, the In
habitants of the desert (for Gaul “
dcnertl wore the most ferocious barbarians,
thTy Hvld upon the flesh of beasts;
they had always arms m their hands; they
regard !**>“ “ tho most in \ olerabla
servitude that could be imposed upon
them."
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25,1891.
Such were the Franks.
It is needless to tay how changed into the
Fivrch of cur day, the foreuicet nation In
civilization and art. But wbal was it that
went to, among and changed them? Or
was it an Incubation of time from which
they evolved civilized. refined and artist, I
We know beyond a gainsaying wbat
changed them: it was religion sent so them
by the church, eastern and western, both
Greek and Roman. It was religion that
softened and subdued their stern and sav
age nations. And the same may be said of
those freebooters and robber riaxons and
Danes who successively conquered and
dwelt in England.
Who that has road tbe history of the
rule, the long nightmare cf the savagery of
the Saxon heptarchy, and at the same time
wbat is known of the works and influence
of those sacred retreats of learning, light
and religion, lona, Li'.ditfarne or Holy
Islaud, Bangor and others, but must see
wbat religion has done for England.
Let us now consider briefly the merits of
religion and lrreligion thus tabulated and
contrasted: A., a Christian anl a church
man; 8., an agnostic and an infidel. A.,
though he knows that his religion is some
restraint and ooeta him sometning in time
and money, yet considering what tbe an
cestors of the now meet civilized countries
were and what savages mauy uncivilized
people are, and what be and his countrymen
would have been without religion, gladly
cleaves to and supports his ohuroh, regard
ing religion as tbe basis and very much the
sum and substance of wbat distinguishes a
civilized ironi a rude ami barbarous people.
A. Is a Christian philosopher. B. supreme
ly selfish and refusing any and all restralut
for the good of others, and conscious, as ha
must be, that he is more unwilling than un
able to know what he owes to hU fellow
men and to his God, lives a despicable, a
worse than useless, and, it must be a miser
able life. B. is a savage, because his princi
ples, or rather his crofesdons, lead down to
depredation, to barbarism and to savagery.
Gentlemen of the Historical Society of
Savannah end guardian* of the Telfair
Academy of Arts, if the sanctions of relig
ion are so great and vase, if religion it the
basis and the sum almost and substauce of
the civilization aul well-being of a people,
is it seemly, Is it fit, that you should cause
to be opened to tbe public tbe Telfair acad
emy (a however refining, in no uiso relig
ious, institution) on Sunday, sacred by the
ordinance of God and recognized by the
laws of your oountry as devoted to religious
and saored serviocs, a seventh part, and
none too muoh time (a time itself, alas 1 all
uncertain), for a man with a soul immortal
to prepare for an immortality?

"Monte Cristo” Cannot Compete With
a Christmas Eve Fete.
Christmas eve is not muoh of a night for
theater-going. "Monte Cristo,” which is a
drawing attraction at almost any time, was
played to pretty nearly an empty house lust
night. If Mr. O’Neill had a succession of
such audiences he might fiat an excuse for
withdrawing “Monte Cristo ’from the stage
but it is not often that be has to face so
meager a gathering.
"The two Johns."
“The Two Johns” will be the Christmas

The Kansas City Times guys: The Boston

may rest assured, it will be a long time be

meritorious musicians. The Toledo Sun

beyond criticism. The Charleston (S. C.)
Aetna and Courier Bays: The concert by
the Boston Symphony Orchestral Club was
the finest given in Charleston, and it is safe
to say that none finer can be heard any

The Jueh Company’s Luck.
The Juoh Opera Company is In hard luck.
Its treasury is depleted. The company
reached Macon day before yesterday eighty
seven strong, with baggage and scenery,
for Jacksonville, in a special train of eight
ooachee, under the esoort and management
of the Central road. The road took the
troupe to Macon on credit, the transpor
tation charges being $853. Manager Locke
of the company gave an order on Manager
Horne of the Academy of Music for the
amount of the transportation to bs paid out
of tbu box sales in Macon, but there was
nothing with which to pay the bill. The
