Wo do not think wo hazard anything
when we say that everybody who went to
soo the Female Minstrel Troupe last night
felt badly sold and disappointed. The
show is not half as good as it was last
year; the women ugly as home-made sin,
and the men onlthe stage miserably poor
nfgro Imitators.
The jig dance by the Misses Love was
very good Indeed.
The play of Ixion Is a stupendous fail
ure, as peformed by them.
They advertised the Can-Can, and peo
ple went to see that, but It was omitted.
A small portion of the Wild dance con
cluded the entertainment.
They go from here to Montgomery, and
our frlonds there may expect a poor show,
unless they Improve upon the one given
hero.
The! Quintessence of Meanness.
Our friend of the Montgomery Journal
wrote a little slam atone of our merchants
for putting In his window a skull labelled,
“This was a drummer,” Now, It might,
If true, show an Indisposition to ontertoln
thatllaa* of tholtravellng public, but sure
ly It does not come up to the standard of
the following meanness, which that same
paper saysloccurred with a Montgomery
morchant. Here It is, clipped from tbe
same edition as that containing the refer
ence to a Columbus merchant. We are
willing to swap men with him:
“For a man who has a large city cor
respondence, and has constitutional objec
tions to paying out his coin to the Feder
al government, the following branch of
business Is plcayunlslily profitable: Ad
vertise for a clerk In some dally paper
state tho salary Is *BO per month, and
wind up with “Inclose stamp.” A benev
olent looking old party, with “spooks” on
the brldgo of Ills nose, has adoptod that
method, and on the 31st ult. secured 150
stamps, and no one knows how many the
next day. He thus receives good Interest
on a tlfty-cent 7 Investment, and the poor
clerks have to pay it. If there Is a moan
er man In the city let him show up.
‘•Tkli W u Drummer.”
Tho Montgomery Journal gives the fol
lowing as being applicable to Columbus;
“The papers tell of a business house in
Columbus that conspicuously displays In
its show window a man’s skull, and print
ed In largo letters across tho forehead
those words of warning: 'This was a
drummer.' The story Is probably a fabri
cation, but It Indicates tho temper of a
class of business men that is well behind
the times, and consequently growing
smaller every day. The business man
that don’t want to see a drummor has no
great Inducements to offer, and customers
soon ceaee also to bother him. This Is a
day of push In all classes of business, and
the man that refuses to hear whatover Is
In hls lino because ho don’t want to he
bored, had better retire at once."
We have boen in most of tho stores in
Columbus, and have failed to see that
"skull.” There Is not a house In Colum
bus, In our knowledge, that lacks that
sort of enterprise. Somo do not adver
tise, but wo hope before the fall Is over to
havo favors of this kind from them. If
tho story had boen told of book agonts,
it would be very applicable, but that class
of drummers can’t take a hint ever so
broad.

Aerolites. —Aerolites have lately at
tracted unwonted attention, owing to one
of them having come down with a thump
on Windsor Castle. This incident would,
however, have caused no surprise in coun
tries where the fall of meteoric stones
from the skies is almost as common as the
shower of stones and other missiles hur
led by the playful youths of London. In
the Mysore provinces, tho fall of aerolites
is, says a Bungatore paper, common
enough, and Mr. Heynes, in his “Statis
tical Fragment on Mysore,” drawn up in
the year 1800, states that “masses of im
mense size are said to have fallen from
the clouds at different periods. In the
latter part of Tippoo Sultan’s reign it is
on record and well authenticated that a
piece fell near Seiingapatam of the size
of an elephant, which, by the Sultan’s
officers, was reported to produce the ef
fect of fire on the skim of those who touch
ed it, a comparison naturally made by
persons ignorant of the sensation of ex
treme frigid ily. It is stated that two
days elapsed before it was entirely dissolv
ed, during which time it exhaled such a
stench as to prevent,'people from approch
ing it. This account is in the public re
cord of Tippoo’s reign, from a gentleman
of the greatest respectability of charac
ter and high in the civil service of the
honorable company."— London Obser

The Immortality of the Motil.
MARTIN FARQtTHAB TOPPER HEADS HIS
CELEBRATED POEM Ut DB. TALMAGE'S
CHURCH—A PRODUCTION WHICH
TALMAGE SAYS WAS INSPIRED
—BRIEF SAMPLES OF THE
INSPIRATION.
From the New York Time*, 23d.]
The vast attendance at Dr. Talmago's
church yesterday was a scathing rebuke
to the scoffer who said that lie never went
to u place of religious entertainment. It
showed that there are thousands in the
good city of Brooklyn who havo risen su
perior to his poor prejudices, and who do
not object to the Brooklyn Tabernacle any
more than they would to btelnway Hail
or the Academy of Music. The occasion
of their presence yesterday in such large
numbers was a reading Irora a poem of
antique eminence, by its author, Mr. Mar
tin Furquhar Tupper(the world renowned
Christian poet, Dr. Talmago called him).
The seating capacity of the Brooklyn Tab
ernacle is ample, but long before Mr. Tup
per and Dr. Talmago made their appear
ance every seat was occupied, ana there
was little room to spare. When the two
camo on the platform tho contrast be
tween them was very noticeable. The
Christianity which abides in Dr. Talmago
is “long drawn out.” and is of con
siderable length of limb; that of Mr.
Tunper is not of much account long
itudinally, but is squatty, respectable,
andvenerable. In the first place there
was a little exchange of amenities between
them. The modest poet would take the
plain, cane-bottomed chair which stood
on tho platform; the courteous pastor
would have him seated in the high velvet
cushioned choir which ho himself usually
occupies. Some hesitation, as much bow
ing as would satisfy Sir Pertinax Macsy
coyhant, and the unfortunate poet yielded.
Here began his sorrows. Seated natural
ly ( and the poet himself said a little later
that lie was a natural man) his feet would
not touch tho firm set earth, or ttie plat
form erected thereon; and when a poet
is not on his Pegasus, it is not dignified to
to have his legs dangling in space. When
Cowper sang the Sofa, and out of the prim
itive stool übon which “immortal Alfred
sate” evolvod that luxurious belonging of
every modern household of protection,
had hsl prophetic soul at that momeut
token In the future tribulation of the
“world renowned Christian poet,”
lie would have wished him just such an
other stool as Immortal Alfred's. The po
et, however, burled his face in his hand
kerchief, and this hid both his face and his
sorrow, and in a line while he
looked forth refreshed and radiant. Then
the exercises were begun. First a hymn
was sung, and it was led with great vigor
by a gentleman who had tho high privi
lege of standing for a brief space on the
same platform with the two great men
whom all had come to admire. Thon
some prayers wore said, and a portion of
tho scriptures was read, after which the
audience sang. “All hail thopower of Je
sus’ name." AfterthisDr. Talmago made
the customary Sunday announcements, a
collection was made and another hymn
was sung. , „
The pastor then introduced Mr. Tup
per. None of his hearers, ho said would
mistake that ior a lecture occasion; the
poem to be read that morning was a ser
mon in blank verse. It had been lnssired
by tho spirit of God, and had been a mat
ter of congratulation and inspiration to
thousands of thousands. That was all
Dr. Talmagc said, but at the dose of the
exercises some irreverent oritio close by
Hie writer whlsperod that he had done an
injustice to tho spirit of God and the ge
nius of Mr. Tapper in tho matter of the
inspiration of the poem.
Mr. Tupper, when Dr. Tnlmage had
done, turned his eyes toward heaven,
wiped his inspired face with an ordinary
handkerchief, and came forward to the
reading-stand. He spoko briefly, saying
that the great honor which had been done
him lie attributed to God. lie desired to
repudiate all self-seeking, and sincerely to
speak to his auditors as a dying man to
dying men. This was not esteemed con
soling by most of tho listeners, but they
were In better mood when the great poet
said that lie also wished to speak to them
sincerely, cheerfully, and earnostly of
living men. Then he proclaimed that he
would leave astde everything of rhetori
cal effort. Nothing of art for him; he was
a natural roan, II he did not speak from
heart to heart, might lie not speak at all—
an alternative in which a few wretched
scoffers secretly acquiesced. He knew, he
said, that tho words were dead letters, and
that It was the spirit that lived. Ho then
said that his essay had been before the
world for forty years, that it was too long
to read it all, and that he would accord
ingly omit portions. In so vast an audi
ence he expected to enoounter Intellectual
skepticism, but he honored people, not for
skepticism, but for faithfulnoss to convic
tions, according to the lights which they
hail. Then the poet said that he needed
help, and that after a word of silent
prayer, he would read hls poem “On Im
mortality.” Bo he subsided into the large
cushioned chair and prayed silently, and
again he camo forward, once more re
freshed and radiant. Then he began his
great poem. Tho first lino was mandatory
and of a peremptory character:
(Hr! up thy mind to contemplation, trembling
inhabitants of earth.
The next cast somo unnecessary slight
on tiio condition of mortals, but made
amends by opulent promise future. It
ran:
Tenant of a hovel for a day—thon art heir af the
universe forever.
But as the poet proceeded people be
came used to his methods,and were not so
daunted and sick at heart as In the begin
ning. It was a pity that Mr. Tupper dis
charged altogether tho aids of rhotorle,
for ho was of often very indistinct and not
Impressive. But Mr. Tupper, proceeding
to the end according to his own inspired
judgment, concluded as follows:
Alas I that the future and Its adamantins facta,
Clouded by the present with intoxicating fumes—
Shall seem to as, the great expectant heirs.
To us, tho reasonable and free, fearful sons of
reason.
Only aa a lovely long —aweet aonnda of solemn
music—
A pleasant voice, and nothing more—doth he not
apeak parable ?
Look to thy soul, O, man, for none can be surety
for hls brother.
Behold, for heaven—nor for hell—thou cans’t not
escape from Immortality.
When Mr. Tupper had finished, Dr.
Talmage thanked God for the message
that had been sent them. As the asssra
blageleft the church, somebody queried:
Was that "preaching simple Christ to sim
ple men?” But it is pretty certain that
he was a scoffer.
Itanium's Whale.
From the N. Y. World.]
A certained space, a pile of artificial
stones, be-sbrubbed and be-mossed; a
round tank and an oblong rubber ball,
gray and leathery, showing at regular in
tervals over the top of the greenish water
—that is the first view of the New York
Aquarium. Properly speaking, that ball
—it is the white whale—is the culmination
of the star system. It nikkes its appear
ance with grace and retires with effect. It
would be fairer to say that the whale’s
appearance was a prolonged retirment,
and, star-like, the whale coast. He does
not divide the gross receipts, because the
gross receipts are commendably large; but
if he keeps on dying at intervals for a
month or six weeks, as he has so far, he
is in a fair way jo prove as costly a lux
ury as the most costy of stars. And n
round him there hangs the curious mys
tery of stars Nobody clearly knows wheth
er he eats or not Half a bushel of eels
go into his tank daily—there are not many
eels to the bushel. His keeper, captor
and friend cherishes a superstition that
the eels are eaten, doubtless they are; but
any eating that goes on in that tank is a
matter of faith. Nobody has seen him eat
an eel; it is scarcely necessary to say that
nobody has seen an eel eat him. Mean
while the tank grows fuller of eel and
emptier of whale. His blubber be has
mostly parted with on his way here. He
is slow to recover it His back grows
thinner-Something is the matter with his
lungs. He will not be long in this round
tank. Meanwhile he remains the sole,
solitary captive of his kind in civilised
waters, and Nature and the Chronique
del Acclimatation record his presence
with respect, and spur up the managers of
foreign aquaria with the intelligence that
“in the just completed New York aquari-
am immense basins have been constructed
for the reception of the large cetaceans.”
A certain sober sort of respect will al
ways be felt towards the whale as long as
he shows little enough, but he—that is If
he is he; there is a mystery about that —
palls upon the appetite, and visitors who
come to whale remain for other purposes.
Further Irani the Arctic Expedition.
A TABLET TO THE MEMORY OP CAPTAIN
• HALL.
Londln, October 80.— A narrative of
the Arctic expedition is published. II
relates that after first encountering ice the
expedition was detained several days in
the port of Payer. It started thence on
August Bth, but before reaching the shore
of GrinqpU’s Land the vessels were caught
in an ice pack. Alter this their progress
northward was an incessant struggle
through chance openings made in tbe ice
by winds and current, the channel through
which the ships moved constantly closing
behind them. The Discovery wintered
in a well sheltered harbor on the west
aide of Hall's Basin, a few miles north of
Polaris Bay. The Alert pushed forward
and rounded the north-east point of
Grant’s Land, but instead of finding, as
expected a continuous coast a hundred
miles toward the north, she found herself
on the border of an extensive sea, with
impenetrable ice on every side, and no
barbor. Tbe ship wintered behind a
barrier of gsounded ice close to land.
The floating masses of thick Polar ice had
large quantities of intermediate blocks
frequently a mile in diameter and vary
in heighth from ten to fifty feet. Ob
stacles of tbis kind destroyed all hope of
reaching tbe goal by sleuges before the
attempt was made. The sledge party was
obliged to make a road with pick-axes
nearly half the distance it traveled. As
it was always necessary to drag the sledge
loads by installments, the party traversed
276 miles, although it only progressed
seventy- three. All the cairns erected by
the Polaris expedition were visited. At
the boat depot in Newman’s Bay a chron
ometer was found in perfect order. Wheat
left by the Polaris, was successfally grown
aboard the ship. W nen at Polaris Bay,
the Discovery hoisted the American flag
and fired a salute as a brazen tablet, with
the following inscription, was gxed on the
grave of Captain Ilall.
“Sacred to the memory of Captain
Hall, of the Polaris, who sacrificed his
life in the aduancement of science, this
tablet is erected by the British Polar Ex
pedition, who, following his footsteps,
have profited by bis experience.”
Two sailors of the Greenland sledge
party were buried ucar Captain Hall's
greve. The sufferings of the sledge parties
from scurvy were frightful. The expedi
tion under Markham and Parr, whice en
deavored to reach the Pole, consisted of
seventeen persons. Nine became utterly
helpless and had to be carried on sledges;
three could barely walk and were unable
to render assistance.

THE MORNING NEWS,
SAVANNAH. 64.
j
THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876, WHICH
includes National, Stte and county elections,
and which will undoubtedly be the most active
and hotly contested of any since the memorable
canvass of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Na
tional Democratic Party will this year make a
bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which sre vital to the prosperity of
the Republic and essential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
State governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and there ia
a probability that for the first time since the war
the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect
a Democratic State Government. In these cam
paigns the people of the South are deeply inter
ested; and ever* intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart,
should acquaint himself with every detail of the
great work of redemption and reform that is now
going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah SlorninsSews,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro
nounced opinions and fearless in their expres
sion; a paper that is recognized everywhere as
the best d%ily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigorous, thoughtful and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary of events transpiring in
those Stateß, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNINQ NEWS
with the latest intelligence 'rom all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, and by means of special correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1876.
