improvements in Savannah.


During the past season the work of
Improvement has been going on in the
city, among which we may note the fol-
lowing:
The new stony and a half frame resi-
dence of William S. Greenlee. Esq, is
steadily approaching completion. Its
dimensions are l6 by 30 feet, consisting
of four rooms, which are to be neatly
furnished. John Elliott is the builder.
and J. G.. Walker the painter.
The new two-story residence of Mr..
George Stevenson is not completed.
The main building is - by - feet, with
an L l6 by 16 feet. 1t will be 4 COM
modious and comfortable house. VIM.
Andrews is the builder.
Mr.. A. Schuster has built two import
ant additions to his residence, the di-
mansions of one being about 20 by 30
and the other about 10 feet square, both
tw%o-story.
The new dwelling of j. f. Huston
was built last summer, being l6 by -
feet, with an l. kitchen II by 16.
The handsome and commodious resi-
dence OF John b. Majors. at tn south
west corner Sixth and Main streets, was
built this year, its dimensions being
about 81 by 80, and two-story-
J. b. Beams purchased the old resi-
dence of Geo. Stevenson and removed
it to his lot opposite Mr.. Illusions, where
he has repaired it for his W residence.
Numerous new roofs and lesser i'm
provements have been made about pri-
vate residences and business houses.
In the present hurried article we may
have omitted one or two. which will be
noticed hereafter.
In the meantime the city has not been
idle. 4 number of substantial street
crossings have been pnt in, something
like a mile of new sidewalks put down
and old ones repaired, and grading and
working most of the streets of the city.
Two wooden bridges owe the Plaquem-
inc creek have been torn away, and III
their stead have been placed substantial
stone culverts, at considerable cost, 1t Is
true, but they will not be calling tor re-
pairing annually, as have their wooden
predecessors. The culvert Of Sixth
street is being extended east, that the
sidewalk may pass over it, thus avoiding
the wooden foot-bridge, which has made
good citizens shudder each day as
the school children carelessly crowded
over il.

ANTIQUITY OF THE SCRIPTUREs

Fr
| Few Of us ever stop to think how old
tho Bible is. Yet Hthe scriptures are
believed BY candid critics to contain
the most ancient. forms of truth now
known to men. ~" With the aid of
chronological tables, any one may easi.
y make profitable comparisons between
the antiquity Of the books and that of
other writings and events. The Scrip
lures contain tie only authentic history
OF the world before the food. We find
in the Penhteuch one or two stanzas
ofpostrY composed in the sntediluvian
period. Ths aebrew statutes were en-.
sstsd : thousand Year, before Justin
in reformed tie Roman jurisprudence.
In the Bible We have the record of
chartered rights secured to the people
more than two thousand years before
the Magma Charter. What aseusation
would be produced if the FIRST chapter
OF Genesis should appear for the first
time in one Of the newspapers to.mor.
row! Yet there can be no doubt that
chapter contains the oldest writing, g.
$50 years before the invention Of print
ing. Zenophon's record Of the CONVEX
sations of Socrates, in his Menoriabil-
Ia, seems an old book to Us, yet SIM
liar topics were discussed 10 Ecclesias-
tes 600 years before. The works of
Tacitus, Plutarch and Quintillian are
not modern yet the books of the New
Testament are older than they. As to
the book of Job, its sge is beyond con-
lecture. Those who make it a mod
ern as they can are compelled to place
its origin at least 1000 years before
Homer. When Priam was king Of
Troy, Job was of remote antiquity.
The name of Alexander was no modern
sound for Us, yet when Alexander in.
vaded Syria, the book of Job might
have been read before him as the work
Of an author more tins-honored than
the name of Alexander is now. The
writings of Confucius are modern when
| compared with most Of the Bible and
the most that the Hindoos can justly
claim for their sacred books, the Vedas,
Is that they were written 500 years af-
ter the death of Moses. The Koran is
book fresh from the press compared
with the Scriptures.-Dr. Epson.

A HORSEBACK RIDE.
From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
The stories of the wit Of the late
Col. Isaac o. Barns are numerous, but
to be fully appreciated need the Col
onel's peculiar veice and dry manner,
familiar to those who used to know
him. The following anecdote we do
not remember to have ever seen in
print.
The Colonel, it seems, had been re.
commended to take horseback exercise
for the benefit Of his health, by his
physician, and accordingly applied at
q we'll known stable for the animal.
~ want a regular trotting horse, to
ride for my health this afternoon
"Certainly, Colonel" said the polite
proprietor and, judging from the Gus
toner's physique and "a horse to ride
for health" gave him one of the hard.
est trotting horses in the establishment
upon which Barnes mounted and
bumped off toward the country.
In aboat three hours he returned,
covered with dust and perspiration, and,
with the assistance of one of the host
lers, slowly and painfully descended
from his steed.
Limping into the stable cf6ce, and
holding on to the lower part Of his back
witd one hand, he looked into the sta
BILE keepers enquiring face and ejacu.
lated simply
GLOW much 2"
"Three dollars, Colonel" was the
reply.
He slowly drew his wallet and laid
down the sum.
"Shall you want the horse again to-
morrow, Colonel
"No; I sAan't want him to.mor.
row."
"PeIhaps the day after tomorrow ?"
"No; shan't want hum any more at
all" -
"1ndeed,'' said tie stable keeper,
with twinkle in his eye, as he noted
Barnes holding On to his lacereted
body ;"perhaps the horse don't suit
you.'' =
"Oh, yes," said Barnes, quickly,
''there's nothing the matter with the
horse !; he's all right. It's the price I
object to-"
"The price |" said the stable keeper,
"why, only charged you three dol
lars, Colonel, which We consider very
cheap for the borse's services all the
afternoon"
Swell, don't,' squealed Barnes,
rubbing his aching body; "for when
ever l went anything Of this kind
again, know a big Irishmaa Who will
kick me behind al day for half the
money"
