Mime. Out,rev.

Nine. Outrey is slender and graceful,
with dark hair, gray eyes, and a pale
complexion, one of the most refined and
elegant women of her circle and rather
the leader of the diplomatic ladies So
ciaily for many seasons. Before her
marriage to the distinguished French
man she was Miss Helen Russell, of one
of the old and wealthy families of New
York. The Russells were among the
earliest to perceive the advantages of
Newport as q summer residence, and
their handsome villa on Bellevue avenue
has been a point of social attraction for
more than a score of years. Mime. Out
rey possesses herself a charming resi-
denee at Lenox, Mass, and has spent
several summers there with her family
of little ones. NJ. Outrey retires now
from the diplomatic service. and will
hereafter reside at Paris, where Nine
Outrey's mother and many of their rela-
tives have their homes. Owing to deaths
on both sides of the family, the Oatreys
have been in deep mourning during the
last year of their stay in America and
have been almost retired from society.
The minister's successor, named some
months ago. was NJ. Roustan, the fire.
brand of u red republican, whose duels
and doughty deeds have exercised the
sister republic for some years. Grave
doubts are expressed now as TO whether
M Roustan will come at all, his mali
cious eountrymen accusing him of fearof
the ocean voyage, and of distressing the
friends who would have charge of his
interests during his absence.

a CoIored Ordnance.

Editor Morning Ne1rs: note with pleasure
that an appeal is being made to our citizens
generally for aid to organize an orphanage
for the colored children who are without
parents or family influences to train them
in the "way they should CO." and who, in
all probability, will crowd our jails and
penitentiaries and dangle from the gallows
ss they grow in age and vice unless saved.
This is an important movement, of inter
est to every citizen Of Savannah, without
regard to race, color or religion, who owns
property of any kind aud loves law and
good order. Were a rattlesnske to turn up
on the Bay, the bystanders would ego for
him" without standing upon the order Of
their going" whether white or colOred,
Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian
or Episcopalian. And are not one or two
hundred colored children growing up in our
midst without care or moral or mental trair-
ing worse than so many rattlesnakesl Is not
the pecuniary and other assistance given 10
rescue these wretched little creatures from
exposure to and instruction In vice, only
small premiums paid for insurance against
burglary, incendiarism, murder, theft, al d
the long catalogue of lesser cTimes-if, with
cool philosophy, we look at the "Appesp'
in merely business point Of view, regard
less Of philanthropy
But when to common sense business judg-
ment, we add the indictment under the law,
by which we are to be finally tried and
judged, and the sentence that shall be pass
ed upon us, according to our deeds here in
this life, the "Appeal" of our colored citi-
zens comes before this community with
great force.
Savannah has ever been liberal to the suf-
ferlng of all parts of our common country,
and shall not her charity, which does Hot
end at home, be literally extended to the
needs of her own people, where it begins?

1t was an agreeable surprise last evening
at the Theatre to find so much novelty per

fact that refinement characterized the per-

over the performance last night was un-

A Clipper Built Schooner for Ss-
Uanuah,

a handsome, new three-masted schooner
recently built by Doughty & Kspells, at Pet
tbs Island, near Philadelphia, is now at the
port of Philadelphia taking in cargo of
coal and general merchandise for Savannah,
aud will arrive here in a few days. She is
intended mainly for the lumber tr7de, aud is
owned by Doughty & Kspella, Ca Elmer c.
Lake, who will command her, Nj Z. B. Rep
pard, Of this city, and others. The schooner
is named Aaron Rappard, after the father
of Mr.. Reppard, former resident of Savan-
pah she is al feet keel, 81 feet beam,
131% feet depth Of hold and will
carry 500 tons or 10000 feet of
yellow pine lumber. Her model,
saws the Philadelphia Ledger, is somewhat
different from that of the usual run of
schooners, it being after the style Of a clip
per ship, with a sharp bow and elliptic
stern, which, while adding to the appear
snce of the vessel, and giving promise Of
making her a fast sailer, does not detract
from her carrying capacity. Her after
cabins are finely finished in hard woods and
are very rOOmY.

Masonic Temple and ArmorY Hal
The Hussars and Chathams.

The ball given at Masonic Temple last
evening by the Georgia Hussars for the
benefit Of their armory fund was undouoted-
" one of the most brilliant events In the
military social line that has been witnessed
in this city in years.
The hall was very tsstefully and elabo-
/ rately decorated, and the entire arrange
ments were marked by refinement and good
| taste The committees having charge OF the
affair had omitted nothing that would in
| the least contribute to the brilliancy and
success OF the ball in which the gallant
| Hussars had taken more than ordinary III
| terest. 1t was determined that It should be
first class in every particular, and care wss
exercised in the selling of tickets, which
were placed at five dollars each.
Bv nine o'clock the spacious hall began
| to fill up with couples, the members OF the
military being in uniform ana their lady
| friends in full dress, whilst the msjority OF
the gentlemen present not connected with
| the military sported their swallow tails, and
were arrsYed in fashionable STYLE. The
music was good, and the dancing was con-
tinued with but slight interruption until
midnight, when there was a sum
mons to the supper room, msgnih-
cent collation. being one Of the features
of the all OF this 1t is unnecessary t ,
say more than that the tables presented q
most attractive sight, indicating that the
committee of ladies had passed judgment
on it at least. 1t was a bountiful feast and
was enlivened by sparkling champagne.
After the ''good things" had been dis
cussed there was a return to the ball room
aud dancing was resumed, and continued
until the 'wee sms' hours" and then the
pleasures were abandoned with reluctance,
| aud no doubt the affair will long be re-
membered with delight by all who had the
| pleasure Of being present.
The Chatham Artillery had a charming
| hop, not q grand ball, but a company
| affair, soeisble, pleasant and hospitable, as
| is characteristic Of the company, at their
hall last evening. The floor was well filled
with couples, and we noticed in the
merry throng the uniforms OF several
Of the other companies in the city. It Is
needless to predict that those who were
present had a delightful time, their beam
ing faces showed that too plainly. At mid
night a substantial collation. was discussed
in a sociable way, and the Vaccinations OF
the dance were again enjoyed until late

The entertainment given last evening al
s.. Johns Parish Hall, under the auspiee;
Of the Young Mems Church Guild, was very
well attended, Notwithstanding the numer.
Gus attractions elsewhere. The musical
portion OF the programme was excellent,
each member being enthusiastically en-
cOfed, and We consider it superhuous
to mention then in detail. The address oil
Capt. John VI. Guerard was humorous and
pleasing, and was received with genuine
satisfaction. The entertainment was, in
every respect, s success, and it was the de-
sire Of those present that it should be re-
peated at an early day.
