War on the moths in carpets will soon begin. The festive tramp rejoices at the re¬ turn of spring. Atlanta is considering a grand ex¬ cursion to Savannah. The cotton market is becoming duller and duller each day. A brilliant German is planned to come off immediately after Lent. Neat spring slippers, with cunning stockings, are making their appearance. The especially best are the cheapest. This is more so in the matter of wives. Don’t judge a man by his failure in life, for many a man fails because he is too honest to succeed. Who gave the blow last night in the party of our young swells on the corner of West Broad and Liberty streets? Disorder at the colored hall, corner of Montgomery and Bay streets, last night, was greatly on the increase.

The Mayor’s Court this morning was dull and barren of interest. Only one case—Patrick Gleason—who, being tired of sleeping in badly ventilated rooms, sought the lap of mother earth in Monumental square. He was aroused from his peaceful slumbers by a gentle club and and graceful tap of the policeman’s barracks. was carried to the For his singular freak of nature, to¬ gether with being a little too fresh, he was fined two dollars or five days. Sneak Thief. An officer observed a young sneak thief named Ezekiah Brown, last night, with a large bundle of clothing which appeared to be just taken from the wash tub. Knowing the character of the boy the clothes were taken from him by the officer. A few minutes afterwards Mrs. Grant, a colored laun¬ dress, living on Hall street, approached the officer’s house and claimed that the articles were left with her to he washed, and that during a temporary absence from her kitchen, Brown came in and stole the clothes. The property was returned to her and she felt ex¬ ceedingly happy, as the articles of cloth¬ ing were very valuable. Brown is young in years hut an old offender, having He will served probably several terms in jail. be arrested to-day. Magistrate’s Proceedings. Cornelia Williams, a colored woman, committed an assault and battery some time ago on an unfortunate crippled girl named Annie Williams. Cornelia managed to elude the vigilance of the officers until yesterday, when Constable Joseph Williams quietly slipped down to Thunderbolt, and before she was aware of the object of his visit, was arrested. She was taken before Mag¬ istrate Roberts, at Isle of Hope, and was required to Thursday, give bonds for an ex¬ amination on April 3d. Andrew Harris, arrested on March 13th,for malicious mischief, in breaking a window in Mary Davis’ house, and re¬ leased for the purpose of obtaining bonds, skipped yesterday, the town and he was not seen until when was re¬ arrested by Constable Mendel and com¬ mitted to jail. Kindergarten. Efforts are being made by some of our worthy ladies to establish a Kinder¬ garten in our midst. Kindergarten in the German signi¬ ficance of the word means a garden for children, or a children’s garden; in the common acceptation of the term in our progressive age, it is understood to mean a training school for children—a progressive step in the elementary schooling of children by which industry is coupled with school knowledge. be If such a can started here, and we see no reason why it cannot be, many benefits would be derived from such a venture, and hundreds of our children would be in time living exam¬ ples of its benefits. In most of all the large cities Kin dergarten schools have been established with success. If our ladies attempt the inauguration of such a school in the right way, with energy and zeal, we feel confident that their efforts will prove successful. H. M, S. Pinafore and “ Dress Circle. ft Dress Circle’s” judgment in matters pertaining to the histrionic stage is seemingly not mature nor cultivated. whom The he gentleman’s and judgment upon relied who said “he saw ^ . played recently in New York, and as far as t e pei ormance was concerned, [he'dolman Company/’’ is no doubt correct.

Stealing Plants and Flowers. Complaints have been frequently made of parties entering gardens and stealing therefrom flowers and plants. The idea is entertained among some, that flowers, like umbrellas, are public property, and are taken with impunity. We are requested to call attention to these facts, and show how erroneous is the belief of such people. Youths’ Historical Society. This organization, one worthy of the name of historical, will again favor the public with one of their excellent literary entertainments, which thus far have proven very interesting and bene¬ ficial. The entertainment to-morrow evening will be given by the society prior to be its anniversary, and will pos sitively their last one until that event takes place. The public are cordially invited to be present, and all should avail them¬ selves of this opportunity and attend. The Skidaway Shell Road Company. Yesterday afternoon the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Savannah and Skidaway Shell INud Co. was held, upon which occasion the fol¬ lowing named gentlemen were elected directors: H. A. Palmer, J. Rauers, John Feeley, R. J. Davant, Dr. W. S. Lawton. At a meeting held some time pre¬ vious, Dr. W. S. Lawton was eke ud President, and George W. Lamar Secretary and Treasurer. Superior Court. Hon. W. B. Fleming, Judge, presiding_ Court convened at 10 a. m., and the case of E. C. Anderson, Jr. & Co., vs. the Southern Bank of the State of Georgia, was up. The jury, after being charged, retired and shortly after re¬ turned and announced a verdict for the defendants. In the application of Henry D. Head 1 ' man, for permanent letters of adminis-. tration on the estate of William Rose, granted by the Ordinary October 16, 1878, Mary H. Rose, widow of Wm. H. Rose etal., caveators, appeal to this court, and the case is now undergoing trial. Fishing and Pleasure Boats for Tybee. We were shown yesterday two fishing boats, now nearly completed, which are to be used at Tybee this summer for fishing, boating and pleasure generally. They are made of the most substan¬ tial and durable wood, with iron oar¬ locks. The oars are made of ash wood eight feet long. Their names are re¬ spectively the Cleo and the Earnest. The Cleo is four feet by seventeen feet long and eighteen inches deep. The Earnest is three feet by twelve, and is intended for a sister boat. Both boats contain an ice locker, with awn¬ ings and all the appurtanances neces¬ sary to make them first-class pleasure fishing boats. Pleasure —Its Season and Seek¬ ers. As the pleasure season has fairly opened parties are taking advantage of it, and the roads to Bonaventure,Thun¬ derbolt and other places of resort are alive with fast teams, stylish phietons and buggies, while the ambitious jehus try to outvie each other in style, speed and show. We venture the assertion that Sa¬ vannah cannot be excelled for the num¬ ber of stylish turnouts, good, level and well kept roads, and places of resort to invite the attention of visitors. With such places as Thunderbolt and Tybee so easy of access, and offering so many superior attractions, we wonder why people will go North to pass the suin' mer season. A Serious Accident. Capt. M.
