The Norwegian bark Valkyrien, Captain
Berge, which arrived at this port yesterday
from Havre, brought the Captain and crew
of the schooner w. D. Chaplin, picked up
at sea- These seamen had frightful ex-
perience, and their preservation until their
rescue was attended with the severest pri-
vations.
The Inflated schooner W. D. Chaplin,
CAPTAIN Brewster was bound from Ponce,
Porto Rico, for Vineyard Haven. for orders,
with 400 casks, 3S tierces and barrels of
molasses On the 28th of March, in longt-
tude 20 W., latitude 37:24 n, encountered
very severe gale from west by northwest,
and was dismantled, both masts falling to
the deck.
The schooner, thus disabled, drifted about
for fifteen days in the trough OF the sea at
the mercy of the waves, the men finding 1t
difficult to keep from being washed over
boards
Their provisions were damaged, and
the water was lost. The sutferings
of the crew were intense, and for
several days the rations consisted
of one bareback and q small piece
of meat daily. During this period they
sighted two vessels, but they were so far
distant that the signals OF distress that were
hoisted were not recognized. The wea-
JHST was very rough buS OubALo POIAOus
On the 18th of April the Norwegian bark
Valkyrien hove in sight, and perceiving the
signals, bore down upon the vessel and took
off the crew, arriving here yesterday.
The schooner Chaplin was compare
| lively new vessel, having been built about
eight months ago, and belonged to s. W.
Turner, of Monckton, New Brunswick.
The names of the rescued seamen of the
schooner are w. Fl. D. Chaplin, Captain; T.
R. Hamilton, mate; James W. Fenton,
steward; James H. Robertson, Arthur Alien,
Emanuel Ruddee, seamen, al! natives of New
Brunswick except Ruddee, who is a Portu-
gee. When the crew were taken off
they had about food enough to subsist on
| four days, and as vessels are seldom In that
latitude at this season OF the year, 1t is
| probable that they would have died of star
walton if Captain Berge had not fallen in
with them.
Captain Berge, commanding the Valky-
rieD, also reports having experienced con-
siderable rough weather during the pas
saga, and having passed, ON April 10, in lati
| tude 81 N, longitude 81 w, wreck turned
bottom upwards, sunk So deep in the water
that he could not make out what it was.
He thinks, however, from what could be
seen of the vessel, her length and bottom,
which was coppered, that it was bark OF
about 400 tons.

In lengthy sketch of the Central Baptist
Church of Memphis, cts trials, troubles
and present prosperous condition." which
we find in the Memphis AvalGnche of the
oath ult., the following, in reference to DR..
s. Landrum, late pastor of the Baptist
Church Of this city, occurs:
'The Rev. Sylvanus Landrum, D. D., of
Savannah, Ga, succeeded DR.. Ford, and re-
manned as pastor until August, 1879. OF
DR.. Landrum it were useless to speak to
Memphis people. His worth, both as pas.
tor and citizen, is well known to all here,
and his unselfsh, Christian walk attests how
wise was the selection. His earnest, simple
piety, his unfagging zeal for the church and
his Masters cause challenged the admiration
OF all, and many members were added to the
church. Through the terrible epidemic of
1878 he was daily visiting the sick and com
forting the disconsolate, not only of his own
church but of others and of citizens at
large, as unselfish In the trying as in the
prosperous hour. Burying two sons here,
victims of that fatal scourge-sons who, like
their father, stood to their post of duty
when Deaths scythe was moving hundreds
around them-the good pastor, for reasons
entirely satisfactory to his loving charge, re-
signed his pastorship and returned to his
former charge in Savannah, Ga, the bless
ings of all following him."

Rare and Beautiful Novelties for
Spring and Summer.

This season Mr.. H. C. Houston, the well
known and popular milliner, seems deter
mined to excel his past efforts in presenting
to the feminine public of Savannah and
vicinity, magnificent assortment of season
able articles for the spring and summer.
Mr.. Houston has just opened large and
well selected assortment of beautiful and
elegant lsces. straw hats, bonnets and rib
bons, over which his fair customers go into
ecstacies. His line of straws certainly is
superior In quality and beauty to any
previous displays, and there is such a
variety that every taste may be satisfied.
He has also very fine stock Of splendid
hosiery, dress goods, ties, ETC., and full
line of the most fashionable styles In gloves,
including the celebrated Foster, of all
shades and colors. Indeed, we are not sur
prised to see his emporium crowded daily
with ladies, as there are few places as at
tractive and inviting. We can only say to
those who have not been and who want
something elegant and appropriate for the
spring and summer to call and see for them
selves. ap26-u

The Guards, Ball.

The Ball of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards, at Masonic Temple last evening,
was the most brilliant event of the kind this
season, and the committee are to be con-
graduated upon the excellence Of their ar
rangements in every particular. The spa
cious hall was handsomely decorated and
was thronged with the gallant Guards
and their soldier comrades of
nearly every company in the
city, all in uniform, and their lady
friends were out In numbers. The scene
presented was brilliant and beautiful, and
the bright uniforms of the soldiers con-
trasted with the elegant spring costumes of
the ladies, seen here and there in the giddy
mszes of the waltz, presented a most at
tractive picture. The music was charming,
and the dancing was continued until
midnight, when there was a summons to the
upper room, where bountiful supper was
spread. Enjoyment reigned supreme, and
the ball was one of the most successful and
pleasant in its results of the many given by
the CORDS.

WAsONIC BAZAAR.
The Attraction of the Evening
Large ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Bona.
lions and General Notes.

There was a very large attendance at the
Masonic Fair and Bazaar last evening, and
Exhibition Hall has not presented livelier
scene since the Inauguration than was wit
messed last evening.
The great attraction was the presentation
of the farce of paddy Miles Bow by the
Ford Amateurs. This farce, it viii be re-
membered, was produced on one occasion
at the Theatre by the Fords, and in conse-
quence there was great interest to witness
the second presentation. A handsome piece
OF scenery was put in at the rear
OF the stage during the day,
and the arrangements for the performance
were all that could be desired. About
quarter-past nine the curtain was rolled up,
aud the crowd began to surge towards
the stage. As may be imagined there were
many who were unable to get within hear
tEg distance, and the confusion incident to
parties moving about the hall pre-
vented those on the ''ou6skirts" from
enjoying the performance. Being OF the
latter number, we cannot speak from per-
sonal knowledge, but the appreciation Of
those who were in fro t, and therefore more
fortunate, was evidence that the Fords had
sustained their reputation.
After the performance the crowd dis
persed and circulated about the hall, and
we are pleased to say that the general
business'' was good. Numerous articles
were ratified off, and the ladies of the seVe-
raj departments are particularly indebted to
Mr.. Daniel r. Kennedy for the successful
and pleasant manner in which he disposed of
many articles In fact, his eloquence and
persuasiveness were so great that many
were induced to bid on articles that they
really did not need.
There were also a number of articles
ratified of, and we present herewith list of
the fortunate ones.
