The first spring wraps opened in New
York consist Of long, medium length and
shorter dolman visit in light and dark
coloTed and black cloths, English walking
lckets and long raglaDs.
The Princesse model is brought out In an
improved style this season. There is q
greater slenderness given to the waist, and
the curves extending over the hips are
deeper and possibly more gracefully exc
cuted.
Some OF the shades OF color in spring goods
are pale shrimp, shell pink, water blue, rose,
cream, pearl, lavender, helio.rOpe, plum,
olive, grays, incl lding a blue gray called
greyhound" and dark blues from sap
phire to navy.
Satora is the name for a new American
mourning silk of fine quality, woven In
basket patterns 10 imitation of the French
rhadines; but the American goods are softer
and finer than the French. aud have better

Spring bonnets are to be fou | in light
weight velvets, silks, surahs, sal ;, grapes

should, therefore, be q prime object with
the teacher to furnish frequent exercises in
composition to his pupils, beginning with
the lowest classes in which penmaDship is
taught, and continuing them until the school
course is completed. ! do not wish to be
understood as undertaking the importance
OF knowledge Of technical grammar. am,
however, convinced that the study should
be postponed until the scholar has, to con-
siderable extent, learned the art of express
sion. recommend that some text book on
elementary composition he introduced into
the schools at the beginning Of the next
year, and that the committee be charged
with the duty of selecting this book at once.
From the numerous works Of this descrip-
ton, which have been issued during the last
decade. there will be no difficulty In making
q good selection.
SCHOOL HYGIENE,
The importance of hygiene In connection
with the public schools has always been
recognized and appreciated st its full value
by the board. The publicity which has been
given to the subject in some Of the city
newspapers during the year, is a sufficient
reason why some allusion should be made
to 1t in this report. feel no hesitation 10
asserting that the rooms, water closets and
general cleanliness of the premises in our
schools will compare favorably with any
public buildings in this or any other city,
There certainly has been no lack OF care
and expense on the part OF the school
authorities themselves, or those charged
with the duty Of looking after these mat
tiers, to secure the best hvgienlc results.
Where there are so many,children In attend
ance, it is to be expected that there will be
occasions when the premises will be out Of
order. This condition of things, however,
is experienced in every private residence in
the city. The small number of deaths In the
schools from year to year furnish the best
proof Of their sanitary condition.
The friends and patrons Of our schools
may feel assured that the physical as well as
the mental health OF their children will be
jealously guarded by those who give direc-
ton to the system of public education in
this county.

Festive Texas Ponies - Amusing

Within the past few days about fifty head Of
Texas ponies were brought to Savannah by
certain parties, who have them for sale at a
lot in the western portion Of the city. They
are in fine condition and are decidedly fes-
tive, the msiority of them not having been
broken. A number OF people have
inspected these animals, and eonsid-
cradle amusement has been afforded
By the attempts OF venturesome darkeys to
ride them. Yesterday morning one of these
spirited colts vas saddled and bTidled, and
q darkey who felt great confidence in his
equestrian skill gsFly mounted him. The
Would-be rider had scarcely got his feet In
the stirrups when the pony began to ''r'sr
and pitch" and the dussy riders frantic
efforts TO maintain bis seat were ludicrous.
He held on, and the pong, finding he could
not rio himself Of his burthen in that
way, deliberately laid down and rolled the
rider of, greatly to bis discontinue and the
amusement Of the crowd that bad been at
rrscied to the scene. Another colored indi-
v.dual attempted 70 ride q pony, and had
equally as pleasant experience. The little
animal commenced "bucking," a per-
Torrance which consists of jumping clear
of the ground and coming down with the
four feet close together, in q manner that
Jars and shakes the rider until bis teeth
chatter. Under such circumstances it is
difficult for the best OF hOrsemen to main

however, but when he alighted he was puff

A Rare EnteTtaiHment-MaesIIisser
al the Theatre.

Two years ago Professor Mseallister, the
great wizard, made his appearance in Sa-
vaurah and astonished our people By his
wondrous skill in feats Of legerdemsin. The
remem brance OF the excellence Of his en-
tertaiument then. may possibly account for
the immense crowd which filed the Theatre
last evening from pit to dome, on the coca
sion OF his first appearance here this sea-
son. and the commencement OF an engage
ment Of one week.
Il would be impossible to enumerate the
many beautiful and marvellous feats OF
magical skill, which are performed with an
ease and grace of WOndrOus excellence
OF conception and dexterOus manipula1Ons.
To say that the large and intelligent audi
cree we're delighted would, We are sure,
but feeblV express the true state OF feeling
manifested as each successive trick was per
formed in the most ineTpliesble manner.
AS q magician we do not think he has a
superior in this country, and what
adds 70 the chsrm or his manipulstions Is
the easy, graceful manner which character
lies everything. The entertainment closed
last evening with the distribution OF mum
Der Of valuable presents, and including
them 6 purse OF els in silver, which was
won by Mr. G. NJ. Bessellieu.
Tonight there will be an entire change
Of programme, and entirely new illusions and
feats Will be introduced. On Wednesday
afternoon there will be a grand matinee
Those who wish to be entertained, amused
and mvs.ified should not fail to see the Pro
lessor during his stay.

Yesterday morning about nine O'Clock q
colored man named Elijah Wilson and bis
wife were returning home from the Market
when dispute arose between them about
some trifing matter. The woman had a
kerosene lamp in her hand, which she had
purchased for their happy home, but be-
coming excited By the remarks Of her liege
converted 1t into a weapon, and whacked
the dusky benedict over the left ear with It.
The lamp was smashed 20 fragments and
the aurieular organ Of Eli ah was badly cut,
and a cash was Inflicted directly beneath It..
Elijah was a sensible fellow and knew when
he had enough, so he made no resistance to
bis savage wife's onslaught, but meekly
discontinued the discussion and marched
OF to the City Dispensary for repairs.

Never Exhibited In Savannah,

We notice that show under the name Of
"Col. Robinson's Humpty Dumpty" ex-
hibited in Macon on Saturday. The an
nouucement is made by our contemporary,
the Telegraph and Messenger, in an advance
notice of the concern that THE Savannah
News says they played to crowded houses
in that city," This is mistake. No such
show as "Col Robinson's HumptY Dumpty"
has ever appeared in Savannah, and the
MORNING NEWS has onsequentiy said moth
ing in commentator of it. II the agent Of
Col. Robinson has given out any printed
notices as coming from the Savannah NEWS
they are bogus, and we infer that the COM
psny Is what is termed a ''snide" concern.

about seven o'clock on Sunday night, was

was utterly unable 20 use bis left leg. He
wss then assisted to physicians Office near

A Uniform System of Quarantine
Regulations.

It will be observed by the proceedings OF
the meeting Of the Sanitary Commissioners
Yesterday that 3 communication was re-
ceIved from the Health Officers at Charles
ton to the effect that they had adopted
similar quarantine charges and code as that
in vogue in Savannah, and that hereafter
the systems would be uniform. This is an
important matter, and this smiesble ar
rsngement viii be OF great satisfaction, az
Charleston and Savannah are on the same
footing, aud the effects OF enforcing qusT-
autfue regulations will have TO be equally
borne. This uniform system has long been
advocated, aud We are pleased that sails
factory understanding has been arrived at.

Il will be noticed that the population of
the city and county Is based on the United
States census Of 1880, while the enumeration
OF the children of school age is taken from
the census ordered by the State School Com
missioner In 1878. AS the number of chill
dren between six and eighteen years must
necessarily increase with the population of
the county, the figures given in the above
table must be incorrect. Under the law Of
the Safe the school census must be taken
every five years. The next enumeration will
be made IN 1882 It is very important that
this enumeration should be carefully made,
as the distribution OF the public fund is
based upon It. There Is reason to believe
hat Chatham county has never received her
just quota, on account Of mistakes in the
school census.
II will be to the advantage of the county
to select intelligent and faithful men 10 do
this work next year.
The enrolment in the schools for the past
year exceeds hat of the previous year ny
ten pupils, which fact would seem to imply
that the school accommodations OF the city
and county are sufficient. To a considera-
bic extent, this is true. Very few white
pupils were refused admission into the city
schools last year. The rooms, however, in
some schools have been very much crowded
anu 100 many SCHOLARS nave DeeQ assigned
to teachers in some of the lower grades. To
remedy this trouble, it was found necessary
to push the scholars into higher grades,
greatly to the injury of the children them
selves and to an increase of labor on the
part of the teachers. 1t was thought, how
ever, better o do this than to reject the
large number Of applicants for admission
into the schools.
beg to renew the suggestion made in my
last report which recommended the appoint
ment of an additional teacher to the Mas
sic. the Barnard Street and st. Patrick's
School, thus increasing them TO eight
grades, or the same number with Chatham
Academy and the Cathedral School. This
addition OF teachers will greatly relieve the
pressure on the lower classes, and provide
ample accommodations for years to come l
feel that cannot too strongly urge the i'm.
propriety and Injustice of putting too many
scholars upon teacher. When the number
exceeds fifty for the primary, forty five for
the intermediate, and forty for the grammar
grade, the work must be to some extent SUI
perfcial. and the discipline unsatisfactory.
These effects have been felt in not a few
classes In our schools. We cannot expect
the highest success until we reduce the
number of scholars or increase the number
of teachers.
