The Child OF the state.

Notwithstanding the fact that a very large
proportion of the amusement-loving public
Of Savannah are still absent from the city,
a fine audience, attracted by the reputation
OF the above mentioned play, assembled at
the Theatre last evening to witness its rem
dition By the Hoey Hardie Combination.
The entertainment proved to be all that was
expected of it, for the play is an exception
ally interesting one, and was presented in
an uuexceptional manner by the really meri-
torious company.
We have already published the plot upon
which the play is based, and 1t Is needless
to reiterate its details. The characters
throughout were all well given. Mr. James
NJ Hardie played the part OF Count
Maurice de Lsncy'' with fine effect. Mr..
George HOey, an old favorite on our boards,
gained fresh laurels by his capital ana
amusing rendition of the part Of .'Gros
Rene" and, without exception, all the
other male characters were admirable. OF
the female parts Mrs. J. j. Prior as
"Louise," Miss Emma Pierce as "Marte,"
Miss Z. G.. Barker as "Karline" aud Sig
nora MsierOni as "Gertrande, the Child Of
the State" were equally pleasing: The Ia
Ter lady is, We learn, niece Of Madame
klstOrl, ana Is one OF the IlObl COEeCitutlOus
actresses on the American stage. From
first TO last the sppreciative audience pres
ent was thoroughly entertained.
This evening the company will make their
last appea- ance in our city this season in
Diplomacy" play Of very great interest,
as will be remembered by those The saw It
given here some time ago by the PorteI-
Barrymore combination, just short time
before Mr. Porter was so brutally assassina-
ted by the ruff IN CUrrie in Texas. The
tragic event with which 1t is associated will
tend to invest the piece with renewed inter
est, and this, combined with the acknowl-
edged merits of the artists who will present
1t, will doubtless attract another large
audience this evening. We can safely
assure all who do attend delightful enter
tainment.
Some idea has gotten abroad that matt
nee is to be given this afternoon. We are
requested by the management to state that
such will not be the case. They would be
very glad TO repeat 1.-The Child OF the
State" at a matinee performance, but its
rendition is very trying upon the actors,
and it is feared that to repeat it might in
terfere with the satisfactory presentation OF
Diplomacy" tonight. For this reason the
idea Of 8 matinee was abandoned.

Vorltown uIustrated.

The associated railways Of Virginia and
the Carolinas represent all passenger routes
from the South to Yorktown, and, with a
view to interesting the public still more in
the forthcoming centennial celebration,
they have published very handsome illus
trated sheet, with letter-press description of
the principal personages and routes con-
nected with Yorktown, 5000 copies
of which will be distributed by the indie
fatigable Col. Pope along their roads.
The centre piece represents Washington
aud ROchambeau giving their last orders
for attack. Beneath this is q bird's-eye
view Of Fortress Monroe and Hampton
Roads, and on one side ''The Surrender Of
CORVALLIS" copied from Turnbull's paint
ing in the Yale Gallery. Above the centre
piece is 8 fine cut of the Yorktown mOnu-
ment There are two views of Yorktown,
one from the river and one from the land.
There Is also a map Of Yorktown, Corn
wallis headquarters, the Yorktown custom
house, Lafayette's headquarters, the Moore
House, and the Notifications are also repre-
sented. Besides all these, there are excel
lent engraYings of Washington, CORVALLIS,
Lafayette, Lincoln, Steuben, Tarleto",
Knox, Rochambeau and Hamilton. Alto
gether, it is a very attractive card, and one
that cannot fail to command attention.

Chenka WeddIne Presenrs.

The New York american Queen very per
tinently remarks: "Mr. Labouchere of
London Truth informs US that checks are
becoming fashionable in England as we'd
ding presents. This strikes US is move in
the right direction. II there is ANYTHING
more utterly useless to a young couple be
ginning the world In a modest way, with
plenty Of love aud not too much money,
than the average run of so called we'd
ding presents, we have never happened
to encounter It. Money is what young
people want, not trumpeTy fans, and opera
glasses, and cake baskets, and sets Of pretty
but useless knives and forks. II il could be
so arranged that persons attending an
average wedding could just drop so much
money into a collection bag, with or with
out their names as they chose, 1t would
frequently save them a great deal Of trouble
and embsrrassment-fOr there is nothing
quite so difficult to choose rs q wedding
present, unless It be a wife or a husband
and enable the happy pair to please them
selves in the furnishing and adOrnment Of
their little nest"

Handsome Testimonial.

As already announced, Capt. R G. Flem-
ing has resigned the Superintendency Of the
Port Royal and Augusta Railway to accept
a similar position on the Savannah, Florida
aud Western Railway, with headquarters in
this city. We see, from the Augusta
Chronicle of Sunday, that on Saturday even
ing last the officers and members OF the
Port Royal Railroad proceeded to the Globe
Hotel, in thai city, for the purpose Of pre-
senting to Captain Fleming substantial tes-
timonials Of their regard, and expressing to
him their regrets at his departure. The pre-
sentation took place in the handsome parlors
of the Globe. Besides the officers and en-
ploYes of the road, several other citizens were
present by invitation. The testimonials
consist of a magnificent silver service and
a massive and very elegant gold watch and
chain. On the large salver OF the silver ser
vice were engraven the words presented by
the officers and employees of the Port Royal
and Augusta Railway Company" The
same inscription is on the inside OF the
watch case. On the outside are Capt. Elem
ing's monogram and the date, 1881. At
tached to the chain is beautiful locket
containing Mrs. Fleming's portrait.
The presentation was made by Col. d. G.
Wilson in very happy terms. Capt. Fem
ing, though taken by surprise, responded
equally as felicitously, expressing his SIN
cere appreciation Of the kindness felt for
him ard so handsomely manifested. The
whole affair was exceedingly pleasant, and
wound up with slight collation., which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

THE PENFIELD MARINERS
BETHEL.


SAVANNAH, October 10.-EditOr Morning
Nelss: The Penfeld Mariners Bethel was
much damaged by the late hurricane, both
internally and externally, and it will take
at least from SIS to 800 to make all neces-
sary repairs. Besides this, the neighbor-
hood Of the Bethel has become the place OF
meeting for many bad boys, who do not
seem to be under parental control or to
have the fear of God before their eyes, and
within the space of a month they have will
fully broken ten psnes Of glass, which will
cost from $40 = 81 each to
repair. The funds OF the Port Socioty are
very low, hence we e-e compelled to ap cal
to the friends of seamen for assistance to
enable us to make the necessary repairs.
Any amount paid over to ou- treasurer, j.
w. Burroughs, Esq, or - Mr.. R. Webb, the
chaplain, will be thankfully received. The
chaplain will be happy to call on anyone
who will notify him by postal card or other
wise.

SAVANNAH, October 8, 1881.
THE Board Of Trustees of the Georgia In
Il Urinary or Hospital for colOred persons
are constrained herewith to appeal to gener-
GUS public for pecuniary assistance in behalf
of the institution committed to their charge
The recent storm on the 2Sth Of August ult-
mo inflicted extensive and serious damage
upon the Hospital building, almost totally
destroying the roof, and rendering the upper
wards entirely uninhabitable. The repairs
which have thus been rendered necessary, in
order to restore the structure to usefulness,
have involved an expenditure which the limited
resources of the institution can i'll afford to
meet. and the Trustees are compelled, there
fore. to ask for assistance from without. The
Board feel assured that, Notwithstanding the
fact that many calls are made upon our PEG
pie that this appeal on behalf of their trust
will meet with that substantial recognition
which our citizens are always ready to extend
to a worthy object. and that the unrewarded
efforts of the Trustees to minister to the wants
nd necessities of the sick poor of our colored
population will meet that appreciation which
may justly be expected.
JOHN n. LEWIS,
President of the Board.

What's Name1

Ex-Governor Bowie, OF Maryland, the
owner Of the famous race horse "Crick-
more" while pleasantly chatting with the
managing partner Of heavy advertising
firm In Baltimore, was somewhat surprised
by the question addressed to him, whether
he would be willing to grant the privilege
OF rechristening his fsvorlte horse for the
sum of 5000. The offer, certainly tempt
ing one, was courteously and thankfully
declined. It Is hardly necessary to suggest
that II the proposition had been accepted,
the great "CrickmOre" would for the future
add new and brighter lustre to the fame and
popularity Of st. Jacobs Ol.-Aeu York
Spirit Of The TINS.

Gotten AnOaI.

A postal from Sapelo quarantine informs
US that the schooner Seth w. Smith, which
went ashore in the August gale at that
station, was gotten sdOat few evenings
since by Captain Abel, Of DOboy, who has
been digging around the stranded vessel for
several DAYS. On the evening on which she
was nOated the tide was the highest OF the
season, and this fact enabled Captain Abeel
to succeed in his efforts.
The schooner Is in pretty fair condition,
though somewhat lesky about the keel. II
Is not thought she has received any material
damage, and she will be at once taken to
DobOy TO be esulked.

A BOLD THEFT.
valuable Cold watch stolen.

A bold theft, which cost a young gentle
man Of Savannah the loss Of handsome
watch and chain, was perpetrated in this city
8 day or two since. 1t appears that the
owner Of said watch, which was valued at
two hundred and fifty dollars, is the propri-
etor of a store on Whitaker street, and on
the day in question he took off his vest and
hung It up near the window Of his store,
leaving the watch and chain in the pocket.
While busy waiting on customers, he
was unable to keep watch on his
possessions, and finally, when he resumed
his vest, to his great discontinue be found
his valuable property missing. There is &c
doubt that some bold thief passing by spied
the articles in the vest and reached In his
hand and skillfully transferred the same to
his own pockets without being observed. As
yet no clue to the robber has been OBJ
tanned.
