A CHAPTER FROM THE JOURN AL OF
THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY.
Either Surprised or Impressed By
AVell Dressed Ladles.
President Washington spent a few
days in Georgia, in May, 1701. He went
from Charleston, S. C., to Savannah.
The following extracts from his journal
cover the time of his stay in Georgia.
We copy spelling, abbreviations, etc.,
literally:
“(May) Thursday .-th.
“By 5 o’clock, we set out from Judge
Hayward’s, and road to i'ur.sburgh, _

American Cap?n^ m^vt don the
River, I called upon Mrs. Green,
widow of the deceased Gen. Green, (at
a place called Mulberry Grove) & asked
her how she did. At this place, (2*miles
from Puribsurgb) my horses and car¬
riage, were landed, and had 12 miles
farther by land, to Savanna. The wind
and tide being both agst us. it was O

we were received under every dena lu¬

respect. We were seven hours

the Mayor and Wardens, to very good

occasion, and partook of a public dinner
given by the citizens at Coffee Room.

“Friday. 13”. Dined with the Mem¬

evening, went to a dancing as^nbly, at
which there were about 100 w ell dressed
and handsome ladies. o'clock
“Saturday 14”. A little after G
in Company with Gen. McIntosh, Gen.
Wayne, the Mayor and many others
(principal Gentlemen of the City,) 1
visited the City, and the attack and
defence of it in the year 1770, under
the combined forces of France, and the
United States, commanded by the Count
de Estaing, & Gen. Lincoln. To form
an opinion o t the attack, at this distance
of time, and the change, which lias
taken place in the appearance of the
ground, by the cutting away of the
woods &c, is hardly to be done, with
justice to the subject: especially as there
is remaining scarcely any defences.
Diner! today with a number of the citi¬
zens, (not less than 200) in an elegant
Bower erected for the occasion on the
Bank of the Itiver below the town. In
the evening, there was a tolerably good
display “Sunday, of fireworks. 15”. After morning Service
and receiving a number of the most re¬
spectable ladies of the place (as was the
case yesterday) I set out for Augusta,
Escorted beyd. the limits of the City, by
most of the Gentlemen in it, and dining

not flow above 12 or fourteen miles
above the city, though the river is swelled
by it more than double that distance.

greatly increasing) are the principal Ex¬ Ex¬

There were two shows at the Grand
Opera House yesterday afternoon. One was
the matinee and the other took plaice in
front of the theatre, lust alter the piny
was over. It formed a neat LUle afterpiece
fur “The Algerian.” and was enjoyed ueav
lily by tho fashionable spectators, of He
Koveu’« new ojpora. Indeed, tbo actors in
the afterpiece were some of the spectators
of i lie opera.#
The lobby of tho new opera house was
crowded with many of the fairest flowers
of feminity, when a group of four or live
richly attired ladles pushed their way
through just in time to witness
of the “manly art.*’ which was in progress
on the other side of the street, right under
the portholes of the Salvation Army fort.
Two hoys were a t it with all the vigor of
Impulsive yoimste rs; one. a leaden-foot min¬
ion of the great telegraph monopoly; the
other, smaller an d younger, a lad who had
just, put his fool ou the tirst step ot jour¬
nalism. He was a newsboy.
The 14 year-oli t messenger boy was on
top. Both were fighting likeunad. The Little
fellow tried hav .1 to save himself from the
blows of the el<J er. Around tlie combatants
stoo.d an army < >f street arabs. The air was
filled with expressions of the admiration of
tin* fivsrtlo abllU ies of the larger boy.
“Soilk bim, J Silly!” “Gouge ills nose!”
“Tliutnp hVn, Cull!” and other such tierce
words rent the air.
Across the st: reel the scene was different.
The lit Me knod of bellos had crowded to
the sidewalk <« > enter a carriage. In an in¬
stant one of the fair damsels took in the
afterpiece. Her eyes flashed fire. Her ups
trembled. She < -rushed a program which sue
had carried f: m the opera, in her hand.
Then she started for the seat of war. Her
intentions were divended l»y her friends,
and they began to exclaim: "Miss Bar¬
nard! Miss Ba rnard! come back. l>on’ t go
over there; wl tat are you doing?"
The entreaties had no effect on the yati
lant young miss. She was indignant that
suf^i a upectm le should lie allowed to pro
oced and was determined to put a stop to
I’-umius up ihe expeuenls «>Y lisl’r art.
she seized tlie larger boy by iti«» nape of
the neck «ud trousers and yanked him off
the little lad. Then she begun to <*utr and
slap the fello’.v lu u vigorous rashion.
‘ You mean boy” she exclaimed, “and he
such n little fellow”' she accompanied
every word v.lth it slap and then sent ttie
now shame-faced-felJo'vv away. Then the
by-st anders came in for their share of her
attention.
“AriGt you ashamed of yourselves? A tot
of big men to stand by and see this poor
little fellow beaten. It is shocking
The fair rescurer then turned to console
the little one whose face was hut streaks of
blood, scratches, and dirt. She paid hei re¬
spects to* the crowd of smiling mett in a
sarcastic speech!
“Here. Uttle Oiau” sfie said, “take tma
quarter, ro and 'vash your face and when
There are no women around to protect you,
cell on th e police.”
The ladi * then boldly started hack to her
friends wli bout paying any attention to the
onlookers. The friends began a series or ex¬
postulation s. which they keot up until the
'•arrow rol ted away.
It was only right that the little man
should have been protected i»v n indy'., tit*

Savannah, March 5.—Thomas Silver
thorn knocked out James Duffy In eight
rounds at Thunderbolt tonight. The
fight was announced to be ten rounds for
points, but it was really a fight to the
finish. Silver thorn had the fight from
the start. L'uffy was knocked down
three times in the eighth round, but got
up and staggering across the ring fell,
jnst as the gong rung. The ninth round
was called, but Referee Dempsey de¬
clared it inhuman to allow the fight to
proceed and declared Silyerthorn the
winner. The mill was fought after 10
o’clock at the Thunderbolt driving park
and without any interruption. About
300 people were present.,

Three thousand negroes were at the

more are anxious to go. Several of

ft DARK PLOT TO
KILL AND BURN
WEST VIRGIMA MINERS AKE BE¬
COMING DESPERATE.
THE DYNAMITE CARTRIDGES
WERE ALL DISTRIBUTED.
flne of 1Ue conspirator* Gave tlie
Whole Plot Away.
Charleston, W. Va., March 5.—A
dastardly conspiracy was unearthed to
the mining regions today. The strikers
took to Acme 27 large dynamite cart
ridges to blow up the works and destroy
life. the other night.
At their meetings yostorda, last night
an d Saturday the arrangemont was made
to arTest \Vyant, bring him to Mont
® „ and twn him over to a mob of
* " ., kers ” Thor, ™ en it "JJ" un that the cart
ridges, already , dstr.buted among he
strikers were to be ttoow* among the
troops who came with the sheriff s posse,
Gov. McCorkle lias one of the bombs in
p OSse6S } 0 n The plan was next, to
«U Wyant and then go down the river
to all the works, burning, killing and
destroying.
The plan was frustrated by Wyant's
being taken to Fayetteville, thus saving
Wyant’s life and the lives of the sol¬
diers.
It is understood that tlie entire plot
was betrayed Iby a striker today, who
could not bear the weight of it ou his
mind. It is known how Adkins was
killed—who fired the shot, and every¬
thing. A man whose name is not known
now and of whom no mention has yet
been made in the press, lies buried on
the ridge, shot to death by the sheriff’s
posse in the tipple.
Tremendous excitement is raging
among the strikers to know who
“peached” on them and an attempt will
bo made tonight to catch him. 1£ found
his life will not be worth a penny.
lu South Africa,
1 sailed Com London Jan. ‘20, 1893,
for Gape Town, returning the latter part
of May, and was only too glad when I
reached the State again. Miners think¬
ing of going to Johannesburg would do
better by staying at homo, even if times
are very quiet here. The average of
miners landing in Gape Town is about
ten weekly, and they are nearly all from
England. They nearly n'l branch out.
for Johannesburg, and naturally the em¬
ployers prefer an Wniglishmm bole,re an
American, and you will find tins in all
branches of business, professional or
otherwise The colored people do all
the laborious work in the uutuw, and, as
lor tUe positions tho wlbu* man would
take, 1 suppose there are about filly wail¬
ing for one opening. A good miner cad
earn $25 a week, and \ tUuik u. good mi¬
ner can earn more here, and ;h“ii again
he can live considerably cheaper here,
lie would have Lo pay for board in Jo
hann<*sburg olbout $10 weekly. This is
speaking of board aloue.
When 1 left Cape Town last May there
were hundreds of men in Cape Town
from all parta of Lota South Africa looking
for employments of them manage
to get down from the interior, and the
first, dLance they have of returning to
England, either working their passage or
otherwise, they will. Tho boat 1 came
back with to i/ondou was the Tartar, and
eleven worked their passage home, and,
having <so many applications, had re
Ins** a good many. A stowaway is a
oomn.ou occurrence.
Board in Cape Town is $tl.S£5 a week,
and if you wanted a position ns clerk,
bookkeeper, telegraph operator, &c. f they
would offer you what they call “a start.”
That i« to say, it dosen’t matter how
competent you may be, you have to com¬
mence with $•) or $6 a week, and that. you
think yourself lucky if you can get
There are on an average of a hundred ap¬
plicants for each one situauion.
1 took my brother-in-law from England
with me. Ho was earning there #10 a
week, and he tramped around Cape Town
seven weeks, and finally got a position,
and 1 have just hoard from him, and lie
is at: present earning $6 a week at the
same place.
As many people are returning from
Soutili Africa as there are going -that is
between 400 and 500 weekly. Men that
do get positions, after they have saved,
if ever do, $200 UC$400, return to Eng¬
land for good.
Employers will not accept a diploma
from the United States of any kind, it
doesn't matter how high tin* reputation
of the college may be, and any one head¬
ing there will only be too sorry he ever
left home, as it costa more to get from
there than it does to reach there, r Die
whole thing is there is too much English
about it all round, and after having the
freedom of this country you will find a
great difference between South Africa
and here.
