Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-10-07

We are anxiously awaiting the advent of the
fast train between here and Savannah The
MORNING NEWS of last Saturday did not reach
Atlanta until Tuesday morning. OF course tbev
were almost useless at so late date
And just here may remark that Postmaster
Conley is making vigorous effort to give US
an earlier delivery of mail matter. Resiona.
tions and deaths have depleted his old corps
Of clerks, but he is getting his new force into
better condition every day and there will he
no cause for much complaint in the future.
Assistant Postmaster Nall has this week in
augurated new and most important feature
in the city delivery system. A special carrier
is detailed to deliver the hotel mail matter as
soon as it can be distributed, and by this plan
travellers are greatly aided in their Correspond
ence. Especially is this true of drummers, who
generally leave on the morning trains before
the nsual mail delivery

kERR IS elected Joint Councilman by
50 to 100 majority. His msjority in
ferson county was 66; in San Juan, l09;
three precincts Clalam gave lin ID
minority: total, 190 In Mason, McRea-
Wy received % majority, which leaves
Kerr 9S ahead as far as heard from. The
few precincts ia Clalam yet to hear rom
c mot materially change the result.
This result is largely due to the pos on
of the two candidates on the pilot bill
question, as viewed in the light Of the
Puget Mill Co.'S attitude in connection
with that subject in the past. Mr. Kerr
we believe to be the superior of his late
opponent in several important requisites
tor a legislator, although the latter is
very popular man. We expect the
councilman elect to discharge his duties
to the credit of himself and his constitu.
ents.
The AURORA BoREALIs, Every clea
night for more than week past, there
has been an unusual display of northern
lights. Great waves of light illuminat-
ed tine northern heavens looking at times
like reflection of terrestrial fire. On
the 18th, just a week ago, similar dis.
play Of Aurora was reported by Profes-
sOr Brooks, OF the Redhouse Observatory
at Phelps, New York. This uncommon
display, seen from the Pacific to the At
lantic, 1T the same time, is thought
by astronomers to indicate that great
meteorological disturbances may be ex.
pected. Capt. James DalgardnO, of pilot
boat Mary Taylor, who arrived on Suli-
| day, reports that the northern lights
have been very brilliant during the past
weeh, as seen from Cape F'lattery, Capt
Ddlgardno also reports that the comet
has made fine display. The tail meas
ureu by transit instrument, or an
aneroid barometer, exceeds twelve de.
grees in length and is full of brilliant
stars. Capt. Dal thinks that the re-
markable display in the heavens is
caused by the atmosphere coming in con-
tact with the hemisphere. We commend
the above suggestions to the attention
of Gen. Hazen, of the U. S. Signal Ser
vice. Doubtless some very interesting
reports will be forwarded to Washington
after a signal station is created at Cape
Flattery.

"Now, boys" said the teacher,
need not tell you anything further OF the
duty of cnltivating a kindly disposition ;
but | will tell you little story about
two dogs. George had nice little dog,
that was as gentle as lamb. He would
sit by Georges side quietly for an hour
at time He would not bark at the
passers-by nor at strange dogs, and
would never bite anybody or anything.
Thomas dog, on the contrary, was al
ways fighting other dogs, and would
sometimes tear them quite cruelty. He
would also fly at the hens and cats in
the neighborhood, and on several occa-
sions he had been known to seize a
COW by the nostrils and throw her. He
barked at all the strange men who came
along, and would bite t1em unless some
body interfered. Now, boys, which was
the dog you would like to own, Georges

"Tafy" for the Cat.

One Of the most sensational scenes In
Victor Nessler's opera, 1.-The Ratcatcher
of Hameln," is that representing the
exodus of rodents from Hameln, brought
about by the tuneful spells of Singutf
the charmer. While this fantastic per-
sonage is singing his incarnation, thous-
ands upon thousands of rats invade the
stage, emerging from doors and windows
of the houses composing the "set, from
c.evices I'D the walls and from holes IN
the ground. In the leading opera
houses in Germany, no pains or expense
have been spared In order to lmpart
realistic character to this rat-eplsode.
The mimic rodents are made up as life
like as may be, and scamper about the
stage as vivaciously as though they were
really flesh and blood instead of skin and
stuffing So excellently managed was
this particular "eifect" at the Dresden
opera house, that upon the occasion OF
the "Ratcatcher's" first appearance in
that theatre, the property rats fairly
took in the worthy cd Cat, perpetually
retained upon the strength of the estab.
lishment Ill consideration of her long and
valuable services. This conscientious
creature, while watching the stage bust
ness with placid interest fIom her favor
tie corner behind one of the wings,
suddenly perceived what she believed to
be host of her natural foes in the very
act of committing trespass within the
sacred limits of her territorial jurisdic-
ton. With a piercing new of indigna-
ton she straightway bounded upon the
stage, and to the delight of the audi.
ence, furiously attacked the legion OF
counterfeit presentments," that occu.
pied the board. No sooner, however,
had actual contact with property rats
enlightened her respecting their fictiti-
Gus nature than she majestically retired.
In obedience to an enthusiastic recall,
she was brought on few minutes later
in the arms of super to receive the
tribute of applause her spirited conduct
had 40 richly earned

CLAIMS Castles Mystery.

Many have heard of the mystery OF
CLAIMS Castle. The story goes that
there is secret chamber there, and
that in some way the chamber is associ-
ated with the mystery. 1t is known
only to the owner, to tue factsr and to
the heir apparent. Guests ut the castle
have vainly tried to solve it. One day,
when the owner went out shooting, they
all agreed To hang towels out of the win
dows Of every room, In order to arrive
at the whereabouts of the mysterious
room, through no towel appearing at
the window. The experiment, however,
was not successful, and it seems to have
been agreed that tho chamber had no
window, and that it was approached by
trap-door opening into the room be-
meath, which itself was reached by a
secret staircase. 1t is now believed that
the mystery has been in part solved, and
that the room contained some person
who died week or two ago at very
advanced age. But, if this be 80, who
was this prisoner? Why was he incar-
cerated Ii he really was shut up for
long years, surely the family might now
reveal the cause and if not the au-
thorities might insist upon knowing. Ii
may be that this modern "man with a
mask preferred to remain isolated; but
on the face OF 1t some explanation if
requisite, for, when an individual is
hidden away in this mysterious fashion
until he is taken out a corpse to be bur-
led, the presumption is that he was not
tree agent. Truth.

Innnlan,s Home.

Hanlan, the champion osrsman of the world,
was born in Toronto, Canada, and won his first
amateur race on Toronto Bay. Afterwards he
made his name famous by his great victory at
the Centennial in 1876. Since then he has de-
feated every oarsman OF prominence, not only
in this country, but from the anhpodes Of
Australia to the shores Of Great Britain, and
now he patiently waits for the next man who is
to attempt to make him lower his standard OF
victory, which has been so long waving in
triumph. Any one taking even a cursory
glance at Hanlan, and who notes his clear,
bright eye, his pure skin and weli-kpit frame,
would be convinced that purity of blood and
robust health were his birthrght, hence, the
baois Of his strength and endurance. Purity OF
blood il unquestlonably the seat of life and
health, and to obtain it and keep it nothing in
the world can compare to Burdock Blood
