THE 2LlGuE-STRICKEN CITY.

l sit at my window tonight, the glorious
beauty of the iull moon shining IN my
room and silvering and shadowing the
magnificent trees that ought TO shield this
house from every malign influence, and
wonder why it is that. under the shelving
roof Of the tasteful home scarce three hun
dred yards away, lies now the third with
in a week who, after agony unutterable,
sleeps. so far as mortality is concerned, in
eternal peace, and vet this where am is
unattached. And so beautiful city. 1
do not believe that in this fair land there
is one SO fair as Savannah. The climate
gives an almost eternal spring; the wis
dom OF its founders and the taste of their
descendants have given broad streets and
lined them with trees, not only rich in
perpetual greeness of foliage, but fragrant
with flowers. The land upon which the
city is built is as high above the Savannah
river as is Philadel phia at Chestnut street.
and this highland runs back into the coun-
try for about ten miles, aifording most ex
cellent drives. But around all this beauty
lies that which, while it did not cause the
fever, has given to it the opportunity tor
its grip upon the throat of this unfortunate
people-the swamp that above and below
stretches along this coast for hundred
miles, whose vapors after nghtfall are so
fatal. The decaying vegetation, festered
by seething sun, as day droops sends
forth a mist laden with death to droop
with sundown over the fatal city, and at
nightfallto close in with the curtain OF
death. No sooner does the sun 90 down
than upon every tree and housetOp, upon
the glstening river, lies this mist, palpa-
Bile, yettransparent, having the semblance
of fog. but yet lacking singularly any
dimming of vision. 1t creeps over the
doomed city, and after sunset no man,
except he be compelled by charity or du-
ty, ventures out of doors -Sduanndh cor

A Lonesome Old Negro.

There was slight rumpus near the
market early yesterday morning that es-
capped the vigilance Of the officer on du-
ty. An old negro man, evidently from
the country, was sitting 10 his wagon
apparently wrapped in deep thought -
His hair was plentifully sprinkled with
gray, and he was carefully polishing the
glasses of pair of venerable looking
spectaces. Something in his appear
ance attracted the attention of two neat
y dressed mulatto boys, who, with ci-
gars in their mouths, were sauntering
cisurely by.
"Dare's old man Methuselah,r remark
cd one, while the other began to sing
Der was an old niger an his name
was Methuselah--his name was Mcthu.
sclah. When he got old, he went to
Jeru-"
But before the saddle colorcd warbler
could finish his ditty the object Of his
serenade had leapod from the wagon and
seized him The next moment the tune
full youth was wrigglng on the ground,
while the old man was dumping him
with No. II brogan without regard to
the musical pauses, and with such yigor
as to leave the impression an those with
in hearing that an army Of spring car
pet-beaters had begun operations.
"Methuselum amt had SO much mar
rer in his leg like dis, is he p queried
the old man as be gave the youth a final
jar that sent him rolling out of reach.
Scrambling to his feet, the bruised boy,
without answering the interrogatory,
made up the street at pace that soon
carried him out of sight.
I'm a lonesome niger, am" re-
marked the veteran, as he picked up his
hat, which had fallen off his head during
the humping process I'm lonesome
by mater, and when | gifts mad my lone
soniendss is de was kinder disease Dey
amt no town nlggers roun here" he
continued, giving suggestive pull on
the lappels of bis coat, and casting
glance at those whose attention had been
attracted by the incident just related -
"dcy amt no town niggers roun' here
dat wants to keep me from being lone
some. is dey2 lei dey is, jes let him
walk right out here in the san, shuck
himself, an I'll see ef / can't keep him

AS there was no response to this some
what sarcastic challenge; the aged negro
mounted his wagon again, and was soon
engaged in enjoying his propensities for
''lonosomeness. - Savannah Neus

"lt seems that you are slipping away
Don't be nervous, puss," he whisper
ed, as we entered the room where father

Presently we heard the mutterings OF

to lower, Ralph rose and going over to

sang in his cleay, strong voice. The

Katie removed her cap and my hand
rested gently on the pure trcsses as |
said, "God help me learn lesson, Aunt
