J. H. McVicker, the fother-in-law

on the 27th. Mrs. Booth is so ill
that she cannot be brought to Ameri

England.
Mr. Whitelaw Reid editor of the
New York Tribune was married to
Miss Elizabeth Mills, a Fifth Avenue
belle on last Tuesday evening. Mr.
Eugene K ellwand wife were among?

The handsomest dress of the sea
son is described briefly but truly as
a satin skirt surrounded by a profu

graceful form as airily as her leafy
robe embowered the Grecian Dian.
Mr. Wadley paid this week into

CoajfcMjy, of New York, the deposit

New York now has a new’ enter
prise. A working girls’ cheap dinner
house at 704 Broadw’ay, under the
supervision of Miss Amelia Lewis,
where the working girls can get a
nice dinner for ten cents. That is
quite cheap, yet even that is a big
price for a New York working girl
to pay for a meal when we consider
the beggarly wages they are paid by
“Merchant Princes” for their labor.
The working girls and boys of New’
York are to-day worse slaves than
you could find in any Southern com

slavery.

Fair Notes.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Theatre was crowded last night to its
utmost capacity, a very large assem
blage attended the Masonic Bazar
and Fair.
A number of chances have already
been taken in the raffle for the ele
gant quilt which ornaments the fancy
table of the Zerubbabel Lodge de
partment. It seems appropriate that
Masons should endeavor to win this
article, especially as it is very em
blematical in its design.
Thirty-five members of Palestine
Commandry No. 7, K. T., visited
Exhibition Hall last night in full uni
form, and the treasury of the Fair
was considerably augmented by the
expenditures liberally made by the
gentlemen at the refreshment and
other tables.
The trio of dark Bramhas at the
Fair will probably be raffled on
Monday night. Up to this morning
all but eleven chances had been
taken. The rooster is the prettiest
specimen of his breed in this portion
of the country.
Those w'ho wish a chance in the
raffle for the pure bred white Pekin
ducks at the Fair will be on hand
when the list is being made up early
the coming w’eek.

Champagne and Claret.
By referring to the advertisement
of Mr. Wm. M. Davidson which
will be found on our third page, it
will be seen that that old established
and reliable house has just received
a large addition to his usual good
stock of foreign and domestic wines
and liquors. The recent invoices
are composed more particularly of
chqjce champagnes ."'clarets, cordials,
&c., suitable for the ensuing season.
Capt. Davidson’s reputation for keep
ing pure wines and liquors needs no
recommendation in this city, or
State, fw his claim to that distinc
tion was earned many years ago,
hence we need only call attention to
his advertisement which contains in
formation that would tempt the
palate of even a temperance society.
Hymenial.
On Thursday afternoon quite a
good number of friends assembled at
St. Matthews’ Mission Chapel to
witness the marriage ceremony of
Mr. Slater of England, to Miss
Roxie Forehand of our city. At
half-past six o’clock precisely, the
organ announced the arrival of the
bride and groom and their attend
ants Mr. Joseph Forehand and Miss
Mary Myers, who advanced to the
chancel and stood bepeath a beauti
ful bow'er of roses from which was
suspended a horseshoe composed of
white rosebuds. The impressive
marriage ceremony of the church
was read by the Rev. J. B. Kennard,
after which amid the joyful peals of
the old chapel bell, and the many
good wishes of their friends, the
happy couple proceeded to their
residence where they held a recep
tion during the evening.

Savannah, April 29, 1881.
Afr. Editor: Among the very
many graves that were decorated
Memorial Day at Laurel Grove
Cemetery, I noticed that the resting
place of John D. Carter, who in life
was beloved by? all who knew him in
timately, was not neglected. Loving
hands placed upon his grave flowery
testimonials, tokens of esteem. Al
though he did ftot fall on the field of
the.
Tate war, Fe wMdistmguisned for his
bravery. He was a ’member of the
gallant 10th Georgia Battalion,
Wright’s Georgia Brigade, Army of
Northern Virginia, and surrendered
with the* immortal Lee at Appomat-’’
'tax. He was born in Virginia, June
sth, 1845, and died in this city with
the yellow fever, September 19th,
1876. He came amongst
but his genial manner, his brightdn
tellect, his sterling worth, his un
wavering friendship and gentlenfen
ly deportment soon attracted friends.
When the terrible scourage of 1876
fell upon our city, John D. Carter,
with a true, noble spirit, volunteered
to remain and discharge the Chris
tian duty of charity. In the faithful
discharge of this Godly work he fell
a victim, “an honored name inTnem
ory’s book.’ A Friend.
Governor Long, of Massachusetts,
in-his reply to Wendell Phillips’ pro
test against the execution of Stearns
K. Abbott,claims for himself as much
humanity as Mr. Phillips aspires to,
and after referring to the overwhelm
ing evidence against the man, tells
him he knows 6r ought to know that
as the law' now stands he has no more
power, with the council opposed, to
pardon or commute than Mr. Phil
lips has.
