The City Council Wednesday passed an ordinance looking to the issuin of bonds for sewerage, etc. In order to test the legality of the question, and have it all right, an order has been issued for an election on the 27th day of December next, to get an expression from the people as to their wishes. Two-thirds of the qualified voters must approve the plan,else it can not bo carried out. Now as different ideas prevail about the matter we would suggest a calm and dispas sionate discussion of it both pro and con. We have a month before us to think over every interest involved und to determine what is best to be done. The Advertiser-Appeal will approve the plan with certain strong restrictions. Our Sidewalks. We again call the attention of the ‘‘powers that bo” to the condition of our sidewalks, wherever a pipe has been put in. Pedestrians can locate one of these pipes months afterwards wherever put in. The bricks are either above grade an inch or else there is a depress,' u left in ihe walk.

A failure to observe this rule leaves the walks flat, and after a shower .pedes trians have to pick their way to avoid stepping into pools of water.

The Brunswick Riflemen and the Atlantic Band reached the city yester day at noon from Columbus, whither they have been to “ illustrate Bruns wick,” report having a splendid time, and the very best treatment. The universal verdict of all the mili tary there was that tlu-y all wanted to come to St. Simons next spring,, without fail. Those who had not yet I been to the sea shore, but had si in- j ply heard of it, were as eager as the j others. From all we can learn, our j boys, neither civilian nor military,] hung their heads, when the Atlantic Bund made the music; they were ns proud of the hand ns of the “Sojer Boys.” A wpiter in the Popular Science Monthly slates that some time ago be sent out 5,000 circulars to men and women over eighty years of age. asking for information concerning their habits. He received more than 3,500 replies, and some of the facts thus obtained are of considerable in terest. ' Five out of every six of the per sons heard from have a light com plexion, with blue or gray eyes. The men are bony and muscular while the women are the opposite. All say that they retire and rise early, and eat their three meals a day. A few other points are worthy of notice. A large majority report that they habitually eat meat; two thirds use tea and coffee; sonic of the men use intoxicants, but not to excess, and the majority of the men use to 8*vminali New*. It is said that there will be prohi bition legislation proposed during the session of the legislature. The order nnd peace-loving people of the State will not make a vigorous protest against it. Indeed, there are rea sons for thinking that the majority of them will approve it. It will not bo denied that the counties which have adopted prohi bition are in a much more prosper ous condition than they were before they closed the barrooms within their limits. Crime nnd pauperism in them have diminished in a re markable degree, nnd the people are happier and far better off in every respect. < ITATION. 8TATE or GE-.CGIA—forjrnror l AIUim. t- Ik* tut ~ norm* Kiilnd-I < uiut anr, a*4 tj fkvMa Wr-tm liallaraj V aw ajar.

Morning News yesterday from I al- ean belaid down in regard dosta gave an account of the finding of the body of n farmer who had been murdered iu bis home near that town. Whisky was evidently the ejiitso of his death. A number of drunken men stopped at his house, a quarrel ensued, and the murder fol lowed. The list of whisky’s victims could he almost indefinitely extended. Whisky is responsible for nine-tenths of the quarrels which end in blood shed. If it were not for it, lawyers would have comparatively little criminal business, nnd the jails and poor houses would have but few in mates.

Eddlcman, who was recently acquitted of the crime of murder for the killing (of Thomas-C. Gresham in this city, came near tig n luring conspicuously in another druggist Hodges and a drummer is too good to keep: Hodges—“Why, how are you old fellow? You are looking so much better. That bottle of medicine I fixed up for you was just the thing, wasn’t it? It just built you up.” i Drummer, grinning mischievous ly—“Well, not exactly. I didn’t take your medicine at all; hut got some medicine from another fellow.” The bystanders whooped, and George, seeing the cream of the joke as well as the rest, joined in with all his might. President Cleveland’s Fortune. t'lnra Bollc's Letter to l’lillmlmlelphla Press, Grover Cleveland is worth about $250,000. That is the estimate of a well-advised personal friend. He had something like $100,000 when he became President. He had prac tised law profitably for many years, had held the lucrative office of sheriff in Buffalo, had lived well within his income while governor, and had in vested his savings eircumlatively, During his four years at Washing ton these investments will have in creased to about $150,000. He re tains about half his presidential salary $50,000 a year, and so will have a quarter of a million on March 4 next. One who professes to know it all, predicts that Cleveland and Larnont will be a law firm in this city, hut others, who know the Presi dent very well indeed, believe that he will not return to the practice of the law or to any other active pur uits. His only business, they think, will he to derive by careful invest ments a living income from his capi tal. shooting scrape yesterday in Daniel’s grocery store in Madison. While Eddlcman and several friends were engaged in conversation, a man by the name of Winn eaino up and joined in with the party. Ed- dlemau asked him what lie wanted and told him that he had not been invited to take part in the conversa tion. The man retorted by calling Eddleman a liar. Eddlcman answered by saying: If I hadn’t got into trouble in Atlanta I’d hit you iu mouth. This is the first time I ever took the lie off of any man. At this Winn threw his hand be hind him as if to draw a pistol. Seeing this Eddleman drew his pistol and appeared to be about to use it when friends interfered the dif ficulty prevented. -*•••*- There is no present danger of illit eracy in Germany. The school chil dren are so overweighted with school books that the police in the cities have been instructed to take the names and addresses of children car rying more books than their strength will permit, so that their parents may be brought into court and lined for permitting them to be overloaded. At a recent meeting of the directo ry of the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin railroad it was agreed that a bill be presented to the general as sembly, asking that the name Amer icas, Preston and Lumpkin railroad be changed to the Savannah, Amcrl- cus and Montgomery road. This road lias been the salvation of Amur- icus and also of the country sur rounding it. A Probable Democratic Majority. Atlanta Comu'lu.'oa. ~ According to the latest returns, the ' Republicans will have the House by au extremely slender majority, nnd some well-informed persons in Wash ington are of the opinion that the Democrats will have a small majority. In a great many districts where it was at first supposed the Republicans had elected their candidates, serious errors have been discovered, and re counts have been ordered by the courts. In some instances the an nounced result has been reversed, and in this way the alleged Republi can majority of the fifteen has been gradually cut down until now it is said to be not more than four, and even this may he wiped out. Naturally, the Republican organs are beginning to protest against this systematic revision of hnsty counts throughout the country; but if the revision added to their majority in the House, instead of tending to wipe it out, we should henr nothing from them except loud nnd long- continued applause. As a matter of fuel, the Republi cans are so uneasy that Chairman Quay has telegraphed to a number of Republican governors throughout the country to withhold the certifi cates of Democratic congressmen un til the Republican managers can get a better understanding of the situa tion. Such is politics. \XD- IfWRMN MM!) SHELLS Foil SALE IIY PALMER BROS. savannah, ga. The Harrison ♦’amity is hard to satisfy.
