The AGE OF CHIvALRY Nor GoNE.-AmODg
the victims of the yellow fever at Savannah
was young man whose first name was
given as Charley. whose heroic fidelity to
his duty in the midst of general terror and
trepidAtiOn deserves immortal remembrance.
The young hero. hardly more than boy in
years, was a clerk In Lippman's drug store.
Though begged b his family to leave the
city, he refused to do so, remaining at his
post to make up prescriptions when all
others connected with the store had taken
flight. Finally, the store was closed by the
proprietor. upon which be went TO work in
another drug store. Night and day he con-
tinded at his task, taking hardly any time for
rest or meals. The cook who supplied him
with food took the fever, as did a young
friend named Symons; he nursed them both
till they recovered Finally he was taken
sick himself. and was IN turn tended faith
fully by SymCnds. but all in vain. Worn
out with toll. watching and excitement, he
sank gradually and died Symons. whose
health had never fully recovered, exhausted
by waiting upon hls friend. dying the same
night. Few of the great names which haze
come down to Us as synonyms for consecra-
ton to the sublime idea OF duty. can show
a better title to honor than that OF the IN
known drug clerk of Savannah.

AT the examination of the boys of the
Reform School, before the Legislature on
Friday, in the geographical exercise, the
questions called for boundaries of continents
divisions and states; the location of cities,
population of the same, leading lines of rail-
ways and description Of more important
rivers. In mental arithmetic the exercise
required rapid computation in addition,
multiplication satisfaction, division. squar-
ing, and extracting the square and cube
roots-a dozen OF twenty such processes fol-
lowing each other in a string-and the cor
rect answers were given with surprising ac-
curacy and prOmptness.

We find the following extraordinary ad-
vice TO the Legislature in the Rutland

1t the present Legislature has the will

penses which in every department are eat

there viii be no difficulty, and there need be
no delay, in returning at once to the CID

well. wouldn't it. putting its hand to

gate eating voraciously, and thus "ensar-
