Detective Bill Jones Talks. Detective Bill Jones was sitting in front ice headquarters yesterday afternoon, g to Chief Conally, when a Constitu tion reporter walked up. The detective and the reporter had not met since the day McQuade skipped out. Since then the de tective has been in Savannah, and while he was there an alleged interview with him ap peared in the Times. In that interview the detective was represented as denying the interview with him which appeared in the Constitution the morning after McQuade skipped. Naturally, some reference was made to the interview in the Times, when *. _ elective Jon is said: K “There was not a word of truth in what ■he paper printed.” “But the Times says that you said there was no truth in the interview with you in the Constitution,” remarked the reporter. ' “I said nothing of the kind. I told them, on the contrary, that every word of it was true, except as to my hearing what Haas said to McQuade. On that point you are wrong. I told them further that I saw every man in the Savannah team shake hands with McQuade. I told them, too, that I had heard McQuade say to. Ryan that Haas had induced him leave; and 1 did hear McQuade J say it.” 1 “You told them that?” i “I did, most certainly. Why, while I was talking to the Times reporter about it, some lone in the crowd said that Ryan had made ■breQuade leave; and I replied by saying: f nyßody who says Ryan made McQuade lies.’ McQuade did tell Mr. Ryan ■hat Mr. Haas made him leave, and every ■•ord that you have printed is true, so far as fl know.” If Jones says he did not tell the Times’ reporter every word which appeared in the Times, he tells a deliberate falsehood. We have proof that he did say it. Two gentle men were standing up with the reporter and will swear that every word which ap peared in the Savannah Daily Times, was uttered by Jones. He distinctly denied having seen a Constitution reporter, and knows he did. He would not have dared to tell one of the gentlemen who were in the crliwd that he lied. Jones steps beyond his bounds, when he throws the he around so promiscuously. WIVES ! MOTHERS! DAUGHTERS! BE YOUR OWN PHYSICIAN!

Last evening Capt. G. W. Lamar, the newly appointed postmaster, and his deputy Col. Cliflbrd W. Anderson went to the post office to examine the (books of the office, and to take formal possession. All the rs'istry receipts,stamps &c, of the office were duly counted and receipts for the same were prepared to be tendered Col. Wilson, who seemed to be in an unusually pleasant vein. Much to the surprise of the postmaster how eves, Col. Wilson, at the last moment, re fused to give him possession, claiming that under the Constitution of the United States the President of the United States had no right to remove him. Captain Lamar felt the impulse at first, to eject the suspended Arthurian official vi et armis, but conclud ed afterward to let Col. Wilson have full rope, and hang himself. Thus the matter stands at present. Neither Presi dent Cleveland nor Captain Lamar, however need disturb themselves. The former can go on with his fishing in the Adirondacks, while the latter can maintain his soul in patience. Wilson will go eventually with out any trouble except to himself. Captain Lamar will draw his salary from the Ist instant, while Col. Wilson will pocket, for the same time, his minus his counsel fees. LOSS OF THE BBIE DUNN. Cut Down in a Fog by a Steamship. We clip the following from the New York Herald concerning the loss of the schooner Abbie Dunn, which was well known in this port: “The National Line steamer, the Queen, arrived in New York from Liverpool yes terday minus her bowsprit and jibboom. The loss was due to a collision with the lumber schooner Abbie Dunn about 23 miles southeast of Nantucket Light last Monday night. Captain Fuller, of the Abbie Dunn, and his crew of eight men and one passenger, a boy, were brought to this city on the Queen, and at once made arrangements to return to their homes in Thomaston, Me., where the schooner be longs. She was loaded with laths, and left St. John, N. 8., for Washington on August 10. “The offieers of the (Queen said to a Herald reporter that it was a very foggy night and that the steamship was making about eight knots an hour, blowing a fog whistle at half minute intervals. At a quarter to 12 o’clock a fog horn was heard almost under the starboard bow. Captain Milligan, who was on the bridge with the first and second offieers, immediately sig naled the engineer to reverse, but almost as he did so the steamship’s bowsprit hooked into the schooner’s port rigging, forward. The wrench that followed as the Queen’s bowsprit rose tore away the Abbie Dunn’s chain plates and ripped her planking apart The Queen’s bowsprit snapped off short. The schooner drifted to port of the steam ship. Water poured in and she settled nearly to the gunwales. The cargo prevent ed her sinking. “Captain Milligan immediately went aboard and an effort was made to take the schooner in tow. The hawser parted three times, and on Tuesday afternoon, after the Dunn had been towed twenty miles, she was abandoned, the instruments and effects of Capt. Fuller and his crew being saved. “The accident is attributed by the officers of the Queen to carelessness of the schooner’s crew in not displaying proper signals. The Abbie Dunn registered 265 tons and was nineteen years old. CAUGHT IN A LOG CHAIN. A Workman Has His Arm Frightfully Crushed—Amputation Necessary. Yesterday afternoon, about five o’clock, Perry Stewart, a negro hand employed in the cqoper shop of the Vale Royal Manu factory, situated on the canol, met with a painful and serious accident, which resulted in the loss of his right arm. Stewart was handling some logs at the shop, when his arm accidentally became entangled in the log-chain and was crushed. Dr. Waring was called in and after examining the shat tered member, decided that amputation was necessary. He called Dr Harns to his as sistance, and the two Doctors severed the arm at the shoulder. A Times reporter called at Stewart's house on Sims and Bryan Street last night, and found him suf fering very painfully, but doing as well as could be expected. To-day he is reported in good condition. PICTURES AT SUMMER PRICKS. A Grand Chance to Beautify Your Homes at Small Cost.

This method is best for the pianos and cheapest for owners. All should avail them selves of it in place of having pianos tuned irregularly, or by various parties. Ludden & Bates S. M. H. Concerning a popular hotel in Savannah, Ga., the Florida Times-Union says : “We note from the hotel arrivals, as published in the Savannah papers, that the Harnett House still leads all the other hotels in the city. In fact they have as many as the others combined. There is a good install ment of Floridians always registered there.” THE LABOR QUESTION. Some Re fleet tons on Different Systems. When Ruskin, the eminent writer on art, was offered an introduction to Mr. Adams, Minister of the United States to the Court of St. James, he refused, it is said, on the ground that he did not wish to know the representative of a people who had destroy ed the best relation of laber and capital that ever t been. I had had opportunities in Europe, at the North, on the plantations of the seaboard, and on the farms of middle and upper Georgia, and had come to the conclusion that on a conscientiously con ducted plantation the amount of mere physical comfort to the laborer was greater than anywhere else, where he did not con bine property in the land, means of tilling it and intelligence to do that wisely in him self. And again, I saw that alone no man could manage a farm, and therefore was obliged to have assistance, and if his wife and children could not help him, he must either own or hire the laborer. I have lit tle regard for a theory that is not supported by results, the causes and principles of which I do not understand. I therefore for 40 years studied the philosophy, so to speak, of slave hireling labor, the differ ence between which I confess, 1 could not detect, where the hireling was bound to labor if not willing to starve, or to see a wife and children near destitution. In the year 1854, I entered into possession of a plantation on the seaboard, and had an opportunity of studying the subject of slave labor at my leisure. The conclusion 1 came to was, that a plantation was to all intents and purposes a joint stock company for mutual benefit, with president and directors in the master and mistress, and the stock holders in the laborers. Exactly the idea which the Knights of Labor are now at tempting to establish, and which is unmis takably apparent, in the late demand of the operators in Augusta to have the salaries of officials subjected to the same laws as the wages of the work ing people. On the plantations the law was virtually food, shelter, clothing and rea sonable work for the laborer. First, the master and his family being in this regard exactly in equity on the footing of laborers. Then, if by his industry, skill and wisdom, there was any surplus, it became his to lay up, or to use for the benefit of his family, and it is a fact worthy of attention that where the master combined kindness with discipline his success was greatest. This I know from the fact that I often asked ne groes on well ordered plantations, the answers to which amounted to this: The laborers felt that they had an interest in the increased prosperity of the masters and acted accordingly. This effort to associate capital and la 1 or into a common stock is not of recent origin. Patterson’s colony at Darien, the settlement of Virginia, “New Harmony,” the Brooks farm in Massachusetts” and other experi ments elsewhere were attempts in this di rection and failed from the want of a con trolling power over those unwilling to bear their full share of the labor due. The nearest approach to success has been in the shaking Quakers and on the plantations of the Southern States, now no more. Let us take an example and from it draw conclusions. For many years the plantation I took possession of in 1854 as master had been the property of an old lady who man aged it through and overseer and under him a “driver.” The old lady was clear-headed, practical, benevolent and a Christian, but was too decrepit to see after the farm operations except through her agents. The result was shrinkage in every thing; well, when I took possession, the property con sisted of 400 acres of land, 44 negroes, 70 head of cattle, one mule, three horses, 150 turkies, a cottage of six rooms, outhouses aid negro quarters, all in a “tumble down” condition, and a few other articles, such as a flat boat, a small canoe and a few chick ens —no sheep, no hogs—and two or three milch cow, giving a few pints or quarts of milk, according to the will of of the milker. The provisions raised on the place did not feed the people or the animals, and had it not been for the little gardens and poultry of the negroes, and pig or two of the pens, with fish, oysters, crabs and shrimps in the waters, and coons, possums and wild hogs in the woods, there would have been a close approach to want, in the American sense of the word. What this was fifty years ago may be understood from this view of the question of negro allowance on the planta tion. On being told what it was, a laborer on a New England farm exclaimed ! “Poor wretches can they keep soul and body on such fare?” While an 1 idimin, who attended the barracks at West Point, exclaimed on hearing the same “an faith! I wish I was a nager!” In two years things were restored to the state of the average plantation of the sea islands, and gave me opportunity to study the philosophy of capital and labor. With out some such philosophic conception which few seem to have seized, there can be little coherent and harmonious effort made to secure such results as have followed the prohibition, “fence or no fence” and “tech nological school” movement. There is one feature which is common to the slave labor of the Soutn as it was and the free labor of Ireland as it seem to be, viz: The effect of absenteeism. This was highly detrimental to the negro, and that it was not equally so to master was owing to its bring the planters and their families in close social contact during a part of the year. The effect on the negro was in ta king him from under the eye of the master and placing him under the control of the over seerer and driver, which was not alwas just and impartial, and on the interests of the master it bore in requiring him to keep up summer and winter establishments, if he was not near enough to his plantation to ride out every day, and e zen then unless he had most faithful agents, there was little to prevent the work and from ranging over the country all night, on the horses or mules. Besides, this system seems to be abhorrent to the negro, and to give to the feeding, currying and watereing of the horses, the milking of cows, the care of poultry’, etc, absolutely necessary to success ful management thereof, to the sheltering of wagons, agricultural tools and machin ery, w r as not in his nature. Even the presence of the master could scarcely secure the most imperfect attention to these mat ters without die closest supervision by him. In looking back to my plantation exptri ences, I often find myself laughing a the Singular expedients adopted to “git ’round nits-a,” and tyu inclined to th'nk t at a narration of them would better illustrate the moral and intellectual character of the negro than anything yet written. They might be of service to those who hope to educate our “colored citizens” up to the “mark of their high calling ' under univei - sal suffrage. K. W. H. ABOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Coxa position of the Soil—lts Productive neM —The Climate—Lung DiMeatte*. About one-half of southern California is desert, not “only in name," as Mr. Nordhoff has said of some of it, but piti less, uncompromising reality; while fully three-fourths of the rest will for ever defy the plow. Yet, nearly all that is very barren or homely lies upon the outside, and further acquaintance soon reveals a large amount of land the rich ness and adaptability of which to a wide range of productions are far beyond the conception of any one accustomed only to the eastern or prairie states. The soil is mostly composed of disintegrated gran ite, mixed in some places with disinte grated quartz. Tracts of red or dark clay, known as adolie, are also common, and this is the strongest of all soils, en during cropping with wheat longer than any other. But the greater part of the land is of decomposed granite, and this is not only the best fruit land, but for “all around” purposes for richness, com bined with ease of working, can not be excelled anywhere. Soil that at a care less glance appears to be almost pure sand, or fine flakes of mica, proves sur prisingly rich. Southern California will produce with proper care nearly every kind of tree, shrub, grass, grain, herb or tuber that is at all common or useful in the temperate sone, together with a large number of those of the tropics. While irrigation is not always absolutely essential, it inva riably doubles or quadruples the yield, and irrigable land therefore sells at from three to ten times the price at which the other goes begging for a buyer. Three acres in alfalfa will keep an ordinary family in milk, butter and pork, and two more well managed will supply it with vegetables and eggs. This is in case the land is irrigated. Oh dry land one may have to wait a year or two for rain enough to plant anything from which an immediate living may be had. With proper irrigation combined with careful cultivation, the most astonishing results may be achieved, and now that irriga tion is being managed on scientific prin ciples and not on the old shiftless Mexi can style the increase in production is simply marvelous. Nearly all that has been written about the productiveness of southern California is literally true. Like all countries it raises three kinds of fruit —good, bad, and indifferent. Its best fruit is the best in the world; its worst, the very worst. It is a common remark in Chicago and the east that California fruit is insipid, and much of it is; not, however, because grown in California, but for the reason that it is over-irrigated. The California fruit grower knows that the world judges fruit inainly by its size. He knows it is quite useless to tell the world that smaller fruit may be of better flavor, so he bloats it with water under a warm sun until it represents a fair, but false exterior. But such mistaken methods are rapidly disappearing. Fine budded varieties of oranges have taken the place of the sour and worthies , seed lings that formerly made of the Cali fornia orange a byword and a reproach. At the New Orleans exposition the Cali fornia oranges received the highest award over their Florida competitor!, a thing which a few years since would have been impossible. Last year 1,200 car loads of California oranges found a ready sale in the country tributary to Chicago. Almost an equal improve ment is visible in other things. Raisins well cured and packed no longer have to beg a purchaser, and California wine* are now beginning to rank as worthy of consideration. The climate of southern California is very dry and bracing. Warm in ths daytime, it is always cool at night, and the invalid finds here a sure relief from the biting changes of temperature, that makes life in the east or middle west a constant source of irritation and danger to them. And still the idea that south ern California is a vast sanitarium, a cure-all for all throat and lung diseases, in particular, is a great mistake. False ideas of climate often spring not alone from the invalid's own imagination, but are propagated by fool friends. Any one so far gone with consumption that he can only sit down in a hotel and keep up his strength with tonics until the air can cure him had better stay at home. No part of the world can offer him any hope. To one with sufficient strength to live almost out of doors for 330 days in the year, where every pros pect pleases and temptations to walk, ride, hunt or stroll are on every hand, and where cold and dampness are re duced to a minimum—to one who can take advantage of these conditions Cali fornia holds out great hopes of benefit. No climate offers any positive medicine that can be honestly recommended, but that of California offers a freedom from exciting or aggravating causes of dis ease, combined with a set of conditions of cure, that no other inhabitable land, taken the year round, can offer.—Re view of Van Dyke’s “Southern Cali fornia.” Early Marriages in Canada. Early marriages is the rule among French Canadians. Originating in the early history of the country, when women were few and the government and church alike encouraged girls in their teens to become wives, the practice has become permanent, and for lads who have not reached their majority to be fathers and girls of 16 to become mothers is too common to cause remark, —Chicago Herald. “That tired 'eeling” from which you suffer so much, particularly in the morning, is en tirely thrown off’by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
