The MASONIC Bazaar Journal,

Among the attractive features of the
Masonic Bazaar and Fair will be the daily
publication of an attractive and spicy jour
nal, entitled The Masonic Bazar, under
the auspices of the youths' Histori-
cal Society. Mr.. Samuel Gu~cksnheimer
win be the editor, with Mr.. H. G. Apple as
local editor. This society was very sue
cessful in the publication of a similar
journal during the great Hebrew Fair, and
we have no doubt that under the present
control The Masonic Bazar will have a sue
cessful career, and will yield a handsome
revenue for the Fair. Already a
large number of advertisements have
been secured, and many more are
promised. The paper will be 22x27, four
pages, and will be issued every evening
gratis. We are assured that the journal,
under the clever young gentlemen, who
have had experience in amateur Journalism,
will be rendered exceedingly readable and
interesting. We therefore bid success to
The Masonic Bazaar.

all matters pertaining to the new Home for
their orphan children, met last night at the
residence Of the Right Rev. Bishop with the
officers of the society.
Under the direction of the Bishop q per
manent organization was effected by the
election of Mr.. j. K. Reilly as President,
Captain Henry Blum as Treasurer, and MIR.
Peter Reilly as Secretary.
After consultation 1t was determined to
begin the work of building without delay.
The following committees were then APP
pointed to canvass the entire city and to
solicit subscriptions:
From East Broad to West Broad streets
north of Congress, l.. J. Gull
martin and G.. ]. Gahona; south OF Con-
gress to north of State, John A. Douglass

tains to the care and welfare of orphans,
give reason to believe that when a cause

THE o C.
RumOrs Cause An Advance In Gem
trail.

There was no definite information receiv-
ed yesterday in regard to the triple railroad
alliance which has been the subject of SO
much talk. There were, however, ru-
mors afoat, Of course; among them,
one to the effect that the agree
ment had been effected bet Teen
the Central, Georgia and South Carolina
Railroads by the payment of the claims of
the recalcitrant creditors Of the latter road;
another that the Louisville and Nashville
had entered the field and were buying large
ly of Central. These and other rumors had
the effect of exciting the market,
and there was n quentlY IN advance in
Central. Central opened in the morning at
III bid, 11S asked, and advanced during the
day, the sales being large, and closed at
120 bid, 1908 asked. We hear Of one sale
of three hundred shares at 100.
Our kilograms from Augusta state that
the bi monthly meeting of the Directors OF
the Georgia Railroad will be held to-day,
when efforts to perfect formally the tripar-
lite alliance will be made. All the members
of the board and q number of prominent
stockholders are in the city, and the
action Of the meeting Is anticipated with
great interest. It is also stated that General
Haskell, President OF the Charlotte, Column
bia and Augusta Railroad, is in Augusta,
and rumors were current that, as representa-
tive of the Richmond and Danville Rail
road, he will endeayor to defeat the
proposed alliance by tender of other terms
to the Georgia Railroad. Central closed in
Augusta last night at 120 bid, III asked,
Georgia selling at 1873 to 139, several hun
dred shares changing hands. Georgia closed
here at 1875 bid to 1877 asked. To day will
probably end the uncertainty and Get all
rumors at rest.

This the closing week of Lent, usually
known as "HolY Week." is observed
throughout Christendom, and even the Cal
whistle churches have latterly relaxed their
opposition to it-except, perhaps, in Scot
land. In Switzerland Good Friday is an &C.
elesiastical as well as a civil holiday. In
this country Holy Week is kept especially
by the Catholics, the ~Episeopallans and the
German Lutherans, less strictly by the Uni-
tarians and the Methodists. Holy Week,
which eliminates on Good Friday, was first
observed in the Latin Church, and the Coun-
ell of Nice, A. D. 1875, ordered its general
Observance, but not without having met
with some opposition on the part of the
Asiatic Churches. In Spain it was custom
airy st one time to close the churches on
Good Friday, but this was prohibited by the
Council of Toledo in 633. The Greek Church,
so solemn aud formal in sill its rites, keeps
Holy Week with the s~trictest fasts. In
Catholic and Lutheran Churches it is Gus
tomary 20 drape tie alta. in black through
out the week, and generally 40 instrument
is PLAYED in the churches on Good Friday.
In Rome the week is kept with the utmost
solemnity, and In the Sistine chapel the most
sublime OF all music Is sung.

The Theatre-ssOIIvette" Tonight.

the Khe3tFe-hOI5VetteS Tonight
Miss Alice Oates, supported by r. E. j.
Miles English Comic Opera Company, was
greeted last evening on her appearance
at our Theatre by a very fine audience, the
house being comfortably filed. Offenbach's
success, Lies BAvards," was present
ed in fine style, and served to greatly enter
tain the audience, which evinced more en-
thusiasm than usually characterizes savan-
nah houses. Miss Oates, as "Roland," dis
played the vivacity and grace which
have rendered her SO popular with
the patrons Of the Theatre, and was
greeted with hearty applause. The volubil-
ity of Beatrice" (Mr. Chas. Allison), the
chattering wife and the comicslities of
"Terribio" (Mr. Jas. II. jones', clerk Of the
"Alcalde, " kept the audience in thorough
cook humor, and at times the applause
almost prevented the singing and dialogue
from being heard. Miss Marie Richardson as
"Iuezn displayed the possession of a fine
contraItO and her solos were warmly re-
ceiyed. The performance accomplished its
object, that of pleasing the audience, if the
demonstration of approval be a criterion.
Tonight will be presented the new and de-
lightful comic opera "Olivette, - which has
made such a hit, and is now being played
throughout the country by eleven different
companies. The Baltimore and New York
press notice it il the most complimentary
terms as a bright, sparkling opera. amusing
IL plot and Astounding in delightful singing.
That it will prove a treat may be relied on,
and we anticipate seeing another full house.
Seats may be secured at Bren's during the
day.

CareIessness of Nurses,

Great carelessness is displayed By some OF
the nurses of the city with the children left
to their charge. We are informed that on
Sunday last, a child about four years of age,
daughter Of one of cur well known citizens,
was with her nurse in the Park, and that she
wandered away unnoticed by the nurse, and
was picked up by g citizen living on South
Broad, near Montgomery street, and cared
for until her parents could be sscertained,
which was accomplished later in the even
inc. How the child could have gotten out
of the gates OF the Park, and hsge wandered
SO far of without attracting the attention CT
the nurse, is most singular, and the fact that
she escaped injury is . marvel.

jury. 1t was fair to the government, which
should desire no frivolous indictments found,
and e%minentlY fair for the accused. After
charging the kinds of evidence which should
be required, His Honor gave this lucid and
strong pre- sentation of the quantum of evil
dence necessary
Now, continued His Honor, as to the
amount of testimony necessary to warrant
you In returning an indictment as a true
bill. 1t was formerly laid down-and still
IS by some Juages-that a grand jury ought
to find a bill true when probable evidence is
sdduced to support the charge.
And for this view various reasons were
given, the main one being that it is only an
accusation, and the person will afterwards
have an opportunity to defend himself be-
fore a public tribunal court and petit
jury. But great authorities have taken a
more mercifGl view of this question, by
considering the ignominy, the misery
OF a prison ard the anxieties of delay, have
argued that the grand inquest should be
convinced by the evidence itself of the
guilt Of the person accused, and | instruct
you that this is the true doctrine. There
fore, you ought not to find an indictment
unless, in your judgment, the evidence
before You, unexplained and unc0ntrGdicted,
would warrant a conviction by a petit jury.
The following names were drawn as
TRAVERSE JURORS:
James K. Reilly, Chatham county, fore
man.

The Recent Rough weather at Sea.

The schooner Vapor, from Philadelphia
March 23d, reports having seen the schooner
Gettysburg sink about six miles off Body
Island, on Wednesday evening last.
She went down until only about
four feet of her mastheads could be
seen. This is the vessel that was
in collision with the schooner Marcus A.
Davis, from New York for this port, and
from which the crew was taken by the lat
ter vessel and landed at Norfolk on the LIST
of April. The Marcus A.. Davis then pro
not arrived here up to this time. The
Vapor reports having experienced very
severe weather during the entire trip, hav-
ing made four attempts to round Hatteras
before she succeeded, and before doing SO
was compelled to steer to the n~orthward.
She also reports loss OF half of jib and fore
sail. Her scupper doors and a water barrel
which was on deck were washed away in
rounding Hatteras. Capt. Hand is an old
and experienced seaman, having been run
ming on vessels for the last eighteen years,
and says that he had worse weather this
trip than he ever experienced before.
