How HAPPINESS MAY RE OBrAIEb.-
There is one way Of obtaining what
We term, if not utter, ut least mortal
happiness. 1t Is this-a sincere and
unreiaxlng anxiety for the happiness
OF others. In that one maxim is
concentrated whatever is noble in mo
rality, sublime in religion or unans-
wtrable in truth. In that pursuit
we hare all scope for whatever is ex-
- c''- l''.>-'~ nnd rona for
the petty passions to which our ma
tu:e is heir. Thus engaged, whatev
er he our errors, there will be nobility
not weakness; in ourremorse; what
ever our failures, virtue not selfish
ness. in our regrets; and i'll success,
vanity it self will become holy, aud
triumph eternal.

DEATH FROM VACCINATION.
Operation with the ScaB Produces
Erysipelas. With Fatal Results.

In Plains Township, adjoining Wilkes
barre, Pa, there have been several deaths
within the past week from Crysipelas.
caused by vaccination with a scab. and
several others are suffering from the ter.
riole disease from the same cause, some
of them being in very critical condition,
One young lady, the daughter of well
known citizen, bright, beloved. and only
sixteen, was buried on Sunday. She
was vaccinated in the way mentioned
on the 18th ult The doctor, alleging
that the first operation was a failure, re-
peated it on the 18th, only three DAYS
later, and on the Goth she took to her
bed. from which she never got up again
alive. The erysipelas travelled first down
her arm, then to her neck, and from
thence down the entire front of her per-
son and one of her lower limbs She
was delirious part of the time. and at
others suffered intensely. When she
died her body was one mass of fostering
corruption. Two young children. named
Smith and Barnes, died from the same
cause. The father of the former, Frank
Smith, is now covered with erysipelas
sores and critically ill.
An engineer named Maiden made a
narrow escape from death. At one time
it was thought his arm would have to be
amputated. A butchers wife had her
arm so swelled up that the pressure be-
meath burst the skin and she writhed in
torment. There is the greatest excite
ment and CONSERVATION in the township

The FIOwery CITY.

Editor Morning Mems All countries have
their peculiar and Indigenous Towering
trees and shrubs, whose seasons Of bloom,
following one another in regular graduation
for many months in the spring and summer,
serve to keep up floral succession. These
trees in the British Isles and many parts Of
Europe are the woodbine, beautiful lilacs,
hawthorn, golden laburnums and horse
chestnuts. Corresponding with these in
Georgia and other Southern States are the
iessamine, Towering almond, magnolia,
lagus streima and others. With the exer-
else Of taste and the liberal culture of these
indigenous foWerers the Towering season
might be indefinitely extended, and would
prove an endless source of delight to all
lovers of the beautiful.
This scheme might be applied to our
''Forest City" of Savannah with happy
effect, and considerable addition to its
| beauty We would commence with the
golden hued jessamine, which is as beauti-
full wild flower, enhanced by its grateful
| fragrance, as any country can boast Of. 1t
could be readily trained to porticOs, garden
walls, arbors, etc. In the squares and skirt
would be most desirable, other means of
support for it would be necessary. The
! most appropriate method would be TO plant
| such forest trees in-the squares as would
| furnish natural and ornamental supports for
the best display of its gay flowers, and dis
semination of their health giving odOrs
Trees of the deciduous order would best
serve the purpose, and would answer for
| shade trees after the jessamine bloom was
over These trees, thus artifcially man
aged, would subserve all the purposes of
natural Towering trees. An abundant sup
ply of the the lowering almonds and mag
| nolias should be in readiness to fall into IN
| the floral procession or succession. When
their Towering season was over, the beauti-
full crimson-tipped Lagus Streima would be
ready to take its place in the picture.
There are few Towering trees that can
surpass or indeed equal this ever welcome
and long abiding floral visitor Of our South
ern summer-noC alone for the matchless
beauty of its flowers, but the unusual length
| of time it continues in bloom. This latter
| quality makes It the most valuable flower
ing tree with which | am acquainted, and
| entities IL to our warmest affection and con-
sideration. 1t is exceedingly hardy and
| free of growth, and capable OF reaching a
stature that would qualify it for a shade and
ornamental tree, combining, like the Pride
OF India tree, the useful and ornamental.
The squares and promenades of the city
should abound with it,which would produce
a scenic effect no other city could equal,
aud would give to Savannah an exclusive
title to the appellation Of the "FloWery
City"
The Mussulman's home in eastern bowers.
Is the burden of his ditty,
The Chinamans pride is the Kingdom of Flow
ers,
And ours be the Flowery City.

A Negro Victory.


The negroes have carried North Caro-.
lima. Some of the white people assisted
in the achievement, but. while there was
a division in that element Of the popu-
lation, the colored citizens were "solid, "
and carried their point by majority
estimated at from sixty to seventy thou
sand. Notwithstanding the decisive
character of this victory, there has been
thus far no manifestation of an inelina-
ton to rejoice over it in that portion of
the Northern press which ordinarily
makes itself the champion of the
"down-trOdden African" and in some
quarters there is even apparent a
willingness to admit the possibility that
the voice of the colOred man cannot be
accepted as jnfallibly the voice of God
The cause of this development of he
terOdOx notions in minds hitherto con-
sidered unfalteringly loyal and orthodox,
is perhaps to be found in the issue
which has thus been decided by the
solid negro vote.of the Turpentine State.
The question of prohibiting the liquor
traffic was presented, and the Senegam-
bians, instead of following the teach
ings of their New England friends,
as they have been accustomed to
do in strictly political matters, perverse.
ly gave way to their own wicked and
drouthy inclinations. and event h-ll
bent" against the Maine law. 1t was
very sad and discouraging, and the worst
of it all apparently is that no hint is
heard of any bulldozing, or intimidation,
or ballot-box stufting. From all accounts
there was "a free ballot and a fair
count" and whisky and the colored
brethren were triumphant There isn't
even left the consolation of asserting
that the Ku-Klux did it, and the result
might have been different had the ballot
boxes been protected by Federal bayo-
nets.

The Odd FellOyys' Excursion 10

The expectations which had been in
dulged regarding the excursion to Tybee,
rendered yesterday afternoon by the savan-
nah Lodges to the Grand Lodge l. o. o. T.,
who have Just closed their annual session
here, were more than realized. The weather
was bright and clear, though rather warm,
at the starting hour, but the knowledge
that a short trip down the placid waters OF
the Savannah would land them on the mag
nifcent beach at Tybee Island, famed by
the glorious breezes waited over the briny
deep, caused the crowds that streamed
down to the wharves to endure the melting
rays Of Old Sol with equanimity. There
we're two steamers-the Plant and Clark
chartered for the occasion, and both started
with full decks. The turnout of the local
fraternity was very large, and the fair sex of
the Forest City was well represented. In
compliment to the charming daughters
from the interior, relatives and acquaint-
ance of the visiting brethren. The trip
down was enlivened by the playing of the
bands, and was greatly enjoyed. The eff
cient local committees had a plentiful sup
ply of cold lemonade on board, and looked
carefully after the comfort and pleasure OF
the guests. On reaching Tybee the steam
ers were quickly discharged OF their living
freight, and Superintendent Munnerlyn, with
his usual prOmptness, had his entire troll
ing stock" out, and they were transported
rapidly over the tramway to the Ocean
House. The time was then spent as incli-
nation prompted, some strolling along the
beach. others making their arrangements
for a plunge in the surf. The time sped by
pleasantly and rapidly, and everybody was
delighted-those of the visitors who had
never been to Tvbee before being enthusi-
sstic in their praises of our seaside resort.
The return to the city was made by moon
light, and the trip up was greatly enjoyed.
From the general expression Of opinion 1t
may be assumed that the occasion will long
be remembered by all who participated
with the most pleasant feelings.

MOrmOnism In North Georgia.
Cedartoton Advertiser.


A conference of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, as 1t is
called, was held at the Mormon meeting
house at FELTON,, HARRISON county. on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday last. This
church is about twelve miles south of
Cedartown, near the Tallapoosa river A
gentleman whom curiosity led to attend
on Sunday tells us that fully two hun
dred persons were present. John Nor
gan, President of the Southern States
mission, besides about dozen travelling
elders, were present He describes
some of the preaching as able Nor
gan and one or two of the elders are
well educated but the balance, from
their looks and talk, he judged to be
rather illiterate, and incapable of accom-
plishing alone any great deal in their
line. The preaching was strictly Ortho-
dOx, and expressions tending to reveal
the inwardness of Mormonism as prac.
tised in Utah were carefully avoided
The MormOns claim that they have 131
members in Georgia, 35 of these in
HARRISON county. From what We learn,
their efforts at this time are not likely to
increase their numbers any. While a
large crowd of people were in attendance
on Sunday there seemed to be no en-.
couragement to their work. On the other
hand, the people of HARRISON, outside of
the few who have enlisted IN the cause,
are greatly outraged at the attempted
prosecution of the Ubiquitous work in
their midst, and if it were not for fear
of violating the laws, it is question
whether or not violence, if need be,
would be used to prevent further en-
croachments of the nefaTious doctrine.
Where converts have been made, as a
rule. it has been among the illiterate and
weak minded, but we are sorry to learn
that in HARRISON few respectable, good
citizens have been blinded into an &C
ceptance of their doctrines.
We learn that the Mormon missiona-
ries have also been at work in the north
eastern part of Polk and across the line
in Floyd for some time, and have sue
ceeded lately in making a number of
converts. 1t is said that the language
used by the preachers on one occasion
was such as to raise the indignation of
those who heard 1t and were opposed to
their teachings to such a pitch as to
threaten a mob. They were so bold as
to assert that the marriage relations of
the States were mOckery and unlawful,
because not created under Mormon faith,
and to make other statements even more
odious than this. Upon being notified of
the effect of their remarks, they tried to
explain and smooth matters over
