A Denerved CompIiment.

The French Benevolent Society held
their regular meeting on Thursday evening.
which was presided over by Major
Bonaud, the President. Mr.. a. L. Desboul
lions, their faithful Secretary of many
wears, read the minutes Of the previous
meeting, which were confirmed. The
reports OF the several special
committees were read. Among these
was one from L. H. Isambert, chairman, on
tue death of Antony Bssler, which report
was ordered to be spread on the minutes and
a copy Of the same forwarded to the family
of the deceased.
After the usual routine business a motion
was made that the President, before ad-
i0urnment, should request the members IN
attendance to remain, as subject
of private nature would be
discussed. One member asked leave to be
excused for a moment, and almost imme-
diately returned, Whereupon a motion was
made to adjourn, which was carried.
The President, In his usual graceful style,
requested Mr.. Maxine j. Desvergers to per
form the Office OF Gaming the well-tried
veteran financial officer of the society.
Mr.. Desvergers was felicitous in his re-
marks. and the recipient OF the castigation,
Mr.. Henry J. Tbomssson was so much
surprised at this unexpected compliment
that for long while he could find no words
to express his gratitude and appreciation.
After a pause plateau filed with the
good things OF life was brought in, which
was enjoyed wi a vim.
The gift made by the society to their much
beloved Treasurer is beautiful gold headed
cane, on which is engraved the following

The odd FsIIowA, E4eur.Ion.

The excursion 70 Tybee, rendered the Odd
Fellows OF Savannah and their families by
Oglethorpe Lodge No. l, I. o. o. yes
terday, was q mammoth Effair, and one Of
the most pleasant and successful
Of The season. The steamer st. Nicholas
left her wharf a. nine o'clock in the morning
With nearly four hundred persons on board,
he trip down the river being enlivened With
music from the Guards Band. The cars
were IN waiting az the wharf. and the par
~ were quickly and safely transported
q the ocean House, where the day was very
pleasantly spent. The steamer made another
trip al half past two O'Clock, and carried
two huudred and seventy more, max
hundred on the island 10 the afternoon. At
half past five the steamer left Tybee with a
goodly number, mostly families, who were
anxious 10 get back before night with their
little ones, and reached her wharf here
shortly after seven o'clock. She then
returned 10 the island for those who had re-
NAMED 10 enjoy the evening on the sea-
shore. The night was cool and pleasant,
and BY ten O'Clock the moon shone forth
beautifully, the excursionists thus having
very delightful trip up the river
hv moonlight, leaving TYbee wharf
- twenty minutes past eleven. The steamer
Arrived about one O'Clock. The excursion
was well managed, and the efficient
committee deserve credit for the excel
lent manner in which everything was
conducted. OZlethorpe Lodge can be con-
graduated upon having contributed greatly
% the pleasure and enjoyment Of the fra
terniiy aud their families, and their excur-
sion will long be remembered.

A Negro LunaTIe Pursued By the
Devil.

Yesterday morning about two O'Clock a
gentleman residing at Montgomery was
awakened BY cries Of ''murder" proceeding
from some one on his premises, and on look
ing out OF the window discovered q negro
at his back door. He Immediately hailed
the intruder and inquired what he wanted,
when the negro replied that he was "Jesus
Christ, and that the devil was trying
10 Kill him" The gentleman promptly
ordered him of the place, but
instead OF obeying the fellow tore down
the garden gate, and endeavored TO get in
the front door. He would have been re-
ceiyed warmly had he persisted, and, per-
haps, realizing this fact, he suddenly fed,
and was next heard Of at place several lots
beyond, where he made an attempt TO enter
the house. There was g savage dog at large
on this lot, but, strange to say, the enimal
did not resent this intrusion, and made 10
attempt TO modest the msdmsn. Mean-
while a number OF the residents were
aroused by the disturbance the lunatic &C
casiOned, and diligent search was made for
him but 10 no purpose, as he had mysteriously
disappeared, and peace again settled on the
village.
Early in the morning, however, similar
demonstrations were made by him on the
houses OF several colored truckers near
Sand FLY Station, and at this point his
frenzied career was promptly checked. He
was arrested by COrson Jones, g colored
constable, who tied him securely and
brought him to the city on the
morning train, and the last seen Of him he
was on his way to the jail. On the cars he
occasioned considerable commotion, and
tumblng on the floor, rolled under seat,
declaring In a frightened manner that the
devil was after him, and that be must get
out Of the way Of bis Satanic majesty, whom
be insisted was endeavoring to kin him.
It was ascertsned that the negro lived
somewhere on the Montgomery tract, and that
his name is Sam Wilson. He was apparently
perfectly harmless, his violence being con-
fiued to tearing down fences in his frantic
endeavors to avoid the devil, whom he, In
his disOrdered mind, imagined was deter
mined to kill him.

The DECENTRALIZATION OF rTeIons

SAVANNAH, GA, May 81, 1Ss2.-Editor
Morning Ntie& Referring to an open letter
to my address in your issue OF the 9th inst,
upon the subject of losses of melons occa-
stoned by the necessity Of leaving car doors
open while in transit for the purpose Of ven
tilation, 1 beg to say that this company has
built for the transportation of tt perishable
products of Florida ventilated cars, used by
the Florida Dispatch Line, which answer all
the requirements Of this service. Our stock
OF these cars, however, IS inadequate to the
rush OF the few weeks of the melon season,
but this company does not feel justified 10
providing a costly equipment OF this char
acter for traffic which only occupies few
weeks OF the year.
The question for producers and shippers
70 consider is, whether there should not be
two rates-one applying to the freight trans
ported in the ordinary box cars, and the
other and higher rate applying to transpor-
tation in ventilated cars.
Very respectfully,
JAS. l.. TAYLOR,
General Freight Agent Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company.

TYBEE LIGHT HOUSE TRACT.
Its Preservation from the EncrOach-
menE of the Sea-Three Dams TO be
Constructed.

The sea has been encroaching on the
northeast point OF Tybee Island for num-
Der Of years to such an extent as to render
it necessary q few years since to move the
range light, or what is known as Tybee bea-
COZ, several hundred feet inward towards the
light house. All the land at this point is
owned by the government, the light house
tract having been ceded 10 it by the State
in the last century, and the remainder, ex-
tending nearly to Major Tilton's house, was
purchased IN 1877 from the Screven estate
by recommendation OF Gen. .. A.
Gilmore, United States army, for the pur-
pose Of erecting large fort with outlying
works TO protect the entrance to the harbor.
and prevent the occupation of the island by
a hostile force as a base of operations
against Fort Pulaski, as was done by the
Federals in 1862.
With the view of preserving this land
from further washing, and as part OF the
improvements projected for the bsrbOr and
river, as proposed In the report OF June:
1881, of Captain B. ID. Greene, Of the nited
States Engineer corps. three dams or break
waters are to be constructed.
One of these dams is to be about a third
Of a mile south OF Tybee beacon, the other
abreast of If, and the third near the Mar
tello tower. They will be from quarter TO
a half mile IN length, and the work will be
commenced at once.
Mr. Robt. II. Burnett, assistant engineerin
immediate charge of the improvements OF
the river and harbor, is now getting ready
to begin operations. The pile-driver hiss
been sent down and piling lie being
driven near the wharf as mooriDgs
for the ballast fats. mattresses and
other material. The dam from
Bird Island to Long Island will be COM
pleted to-day, and then the entire force
viii be sent to Tybee. Our community is
greatly indebted TO Captain Greene, OF the
corps Of engineers in charge Ct improve
ments, and to Assistant Engine Robert H.
Burnett, who has directed the w ,rk in per
son, for the energy they have displayed IN
pushing It forward. The latter gentleman
has certainly great talent for such under
takings, and has accomplished much.

The Wharf At Tybee.

There have been some complaints in re-
gard 10 the apparent delay in completing
the wharf at Tybee and the difficulty OF
efIecting a quick landing, and the assertion
has been made that it was lot safe to make
landing at night in its present condition.
These complaints are not altogether
Just, as the delay Is due mainly
TO the stormy weather which has
prevailed at different periods during the
past month, and also to the fact that the
steamers landing there prevented the pile
driver from being used In front Of the
wharf, thus retarding operations. The
work is, however, being prosecuted as
rapidly as possible, and will soon be entirely
completed. The structure is much larger
than the one destroyed by the
storm ia August last, extending fifteen
feet further out into the river,
and is also considerably wider. When com
pleted t. will be a decidedly better landing
than before, and the widening Of the cause
way is a very marked improvement, afford
ing ample room for foot passengers as we'll
as for the cars. The wharf is very substan-
TALLY built, and will probably be entirely
flushed the coming week. The tramway is
In excellent condition, and the liability to
run Of at the curve near the Ocean House
Is almost entirely avoided by better con-
structiOn Of the track.

AnIsgracefuI Scene.

Savannah was witnessed yesterday noon,
a woman fearfuuy under the influence of
liquor, singing and crying alternately, with
Wild gestures, and seemingly on the verge
OF delirium tremens. Her antics attracted
about her q large crowd Of idle negroes,
until a policeman put In an appearance and
took her in charge. She was TOO drunk to
reAllze the situation and refused TO walk
With the officer, who finally procured a
wagon, dumped her IL and started for the
police barracks. The officer, who seemed
very good natured, endeavOred to keep her
Qqiet, but she insisted on acting out her
programme until she arrived at the barracks
she proved to be an old customer, so COM
pletely addicted to strong drink as TO render
her case hopeless as TO reformation.
