In the State Senate, last Monday,
the Sunday law bill came up for final
passage and was defeated by a vote of
thirteen 10 ten. The vote stood as
follows: Yeas-Aby, Brian, Cunning
ham, Foster, Montan, Nunez, Perry,
Robertson, Rogers, Settoon, SHINES,
Stewart and Watkins. Nays-Story,
Angustin, Battle, Fontenot, Harris,
Leake, Lucas, Luckett, Marston and
Pollock. Thus interested parties, on
either side, can see who are their
friends. The EcBo is an uneompro-
missing advocate of a Sunday law of
some description, but as there is
nothing to be gained from discus
sion of the matter just at this time, it
does not propose to 60 into any de-
tails. 1t does mean, however, TO lend
all the aid in its power toward the pas
sage of such law when the matter is
again ripe for discussion, prior to the
assembling of our next Legislature.

A Girls Race With a Street.Car.

A buXom German girl hailed a green
car at Fifth Street and Avenue A about
eleven o'clock on Saturday night. 1t
was so crowded that she hesitated about
getting on. The conductor told her to
hurry, saying that he could not afford
to wait all night. you needn't wait"
said the girl, II can got by der Grand
Street very pcfore dot gar" The car
started off, and the girl returned to the
sidewalk. where she broke into lively
run. Her progress was unimpeded by
light shoes, or other fashionable attire.
She ran with freedom and grace
that won the applause and admiration of
all on the car. Young men on the rear
platform shouted encouragingly to her,
and waved their hats. People on the side
walk stared at her in wonder. The car
stopped at Second Street to let woman
out The girl also stopped in the inter
ests of fair play. She started again when
the car did, keeping up the same pace.
She bounded through Houston Street
like trained pedestrian, receiving APP
plausc and encouragement along the
route. She, stopped whenever the car
stopped. When the car turned into
Grand Street she was still even with it.
The young men on the rear platform
shouted to her to keep it up, and passen-
gers inside put their heads out of the
windows TO see her. She passed the
! Grand Street terminus of the route thirty
feet ahead of the car, and disappeared
through the ferry gate, laughing merrily.

"LfKE 4 COMET ="


3D.. - .--....
A little maid. so wOndrous wise
In speech. and with observing eyes,
as wakened ut the early morn,
And to an cas- tern window Tor .,
That she might see the comet, bright
Ind neyermore forget the sight.
The shining star was pointed out,
Its head with splendor rayed about
And then, outspreading like dress,
Its train of dazzling lOYelmesS
And all the points that made it far
More beautiful than any star.
The little maiden gazcd and gazed,
AT such wonder much amazed:
And never had she seen before
The morning sky so spangled Ger,
Or fancied that the silver moon
stayed out 50 late, or rose so soon.
The stars kept winking overhead,
As if they lOnged to be in bed,
And two bright orbs in mammals lap
were closed to finish out their nap,
w hiie still the comet swept the skies,
The marvel of admiring eyes.
Next day within the nursery
The little maiden CHANGED to be.
When baby was on dress parade,
It's pretty tinery well displayed,
As high in nurses arms twas held
with all its frOwns and fears dispelled.

Its lengthy train of dazzling white,
Were noted by the maid SO wise,
Who stood, with widely opened eyes
And said: " 1t looks her speech was slow

A Mistaken Vocation.

Euclid Curtis, Winona Miss law
yer, read about the exploits of the James
and Younger brothers until his mind
became saturated with belief that the
highwayman's life was one of honor and
profit. Finding few other loafers who
fell in with his ideas, he organized a
bandit band of his own who started out
on their chosen career with the robbery
of an old farmer named Pace, who took
steps to have them arrested. Hearing
this, Curtis and his band went to the old
farmers house, shot him dead in the
presence of his boy, and escaped. Curtis
wrote to the Sheriff of the county that as
soon as he and his followers had killed
two or three more men they would return
and surrender Post and T'rib.

On Saturday evening party living on the
line of the Central Railroad, whose oecupa-
ton Is that of a contractor for ditching, and
who Is well known in this city, and was
here on a visit, concluded to stroll around
before retiring. He fell in with some COM

cred that the party, whom We will call
Mr.. Smith, had a considerable amount o.
money with him. They visited several sa-
looms, where they had a social glass or two,

were seen several times during the evening,
and Mr. Gmfth was recognized, but the other

discussion, which quieted down when Mr..

Editor Morning Aeaos: The beautiful flow
ering tree, OF which the above is, believe,
the botanical name, but whose English
name, if 1t has any, know not, may now be
seen occupying a conspicuous place in ma
ture's annual pageant, enliVening sequester-
ed dells, prominent thoroughfares and out
of the-Way places with its floral beauty,
varying its colors chameleon-llke, from deep
crimson to brilliant scarlet ard bright red,
IN cons0nance with its surroundings. I
know Of no tree in the floral catalogue more
valuable than this, from the prOfusiOn of its
forage, aud the great length Of time it con-
tinues In bloom.
These trees, which seem not to Increase
or diminish in number, and, like mules, to
never die, were evidently planted at some
period in the history of Savannah when an
aesthetic taste or inclpient love OF the beau
tiful existed; but such a taste evidently no
longer exists, or else these beautiful trees
would literally abound throughout he city.
There are places, especially in Northern
Europe, where could this tree be obtained
or acclimsted, it would be Of priceless value;
but IN Savannah, wh9re 1t grows with indi-
genous vigor and beauty, because common
and free growing like the sunfOwer, is not
appreciated. AS oscar Wilde" has prop
erly and gracefully held up the sunf0wer as
the aesthetic emblem OF the floral kingdom,
l claim a like tribute for the lugltS stTCe0liG
in the department Of ornamental or flower
ing trees, and hereby enter an appeal to the
citizens OF Savannah, but especially the city
government, in it's fovor.
1t appears to me that the creation OF
another office or department is necessary in
Savannah, which would call the Depart
ment of Arboriculiure, TO be managed by
an arborist, or superintendent, whose duty
would be to beautfy the city by the re-
moval of all gnarled, decaying aud insight
ly trees, and replacing them with liberal
quota OF Towering and ornamental trees,
such as the above, which prompted this
artiele-the Magnolia, Pride Of India, La

ANOTHER HOMICIDE.
A Woman Dies from the Effects OF
Blow.

Yesterday morning Coroner Sheftan was
notified that Sophie Green, q negro woman
living on Olive street Cooper Shop lane),
had died on Saturday evening under sus-
pieious circumstances. He at once pro-
ceeded TO the house, and, after diligent
questioning, ascertained sufficient informs-
ton to convince him homicide had been
committed, and he promptly determined
upon an inquest. A jury were impsneled
and the inquest was opened.
DR.. E. r. Corson made a post mortem ex-
animation of the body, and rendered an
opinion that the condition Of the woman
could have been brought about by blow
in the abdomen, and the consequences IA
tai A number Of negro women living in
the immediate vicinity, including one or
two who were residing in the house With
the deceased, were examined, and their tes-
timony, though brief, was Of the most posi-
tive character. These witnesses were Dolly
Hamilton. Jane Blown, Dora BACON, Cora
Ovens and Jennie Nsaley. In substance the
testimony elected developed the following
facts:
the woman. Sophie Green, was advanced
in pregnancy. but was up on Tuesday even
inc last in usual good health. mat evening
about SIX O'Clock a negro man, Win WnOm
r. Il stated she had been living,
came to the house. and shortly after the
witnesses who testified yesterday heard a
disnute and some Of them entered the room

vTornau Sophie Green, endeavoring 10 pro
.ecr herself. when the man suddenly
i.mmed her up against the wall, and dealt
her a r,owerfui blow in the abdomen.
The fellow Immediately afterwards left.
The deceased was taken seriously Ill shortly
efTer. and until Saturday evening, when she
died. was in great agony. The post mortem
examination clearly developed the cause OF
her death, as all the witnesses stated that
she had been perfectly well up to Tuesday
night. when the assault was made upon her.
The Coroner is determined upon thor
ouoh investigation OF the sffair, and, being
DESTROYS of obtaining some additional infor-
nation, adjourned the inquest over until
eleven O'Clock this morning at the mOrgue,
when IT is thought some witnesses will be
present who can throw some light upon the
whereabouts OF the assailant. The remains
OF the unfortunate woman were Inferred
Yesterday morning.
