The Car Which will Garry the Diva on
Her American Tour.

The parlor car which will bear Nine.
Adelina Patti northward and westward
on her American tour, left the Grand Cen
trail depot for Boston last evening. On
Monday evening Nine. Patti and Signor
Nicolini, with their staff of attendants,
Will take possession of the car and so to
Montreal.
Almost to the hour of starting last even
ing the artisans were at work putting
the finishing touches to the interior OF the
car. and it was not until after dark that
the rich decorative work was far enough
advanced to admit of critical eXamina-
ton.
In the Adelina Patti, as the new car is
called, the berths are placed crOssWIse III
stead of lengthwise, and are arranged IN
separate staterooms or boudoirs, the aisle
running along at one side Of the car. In
the centre is a large salon running the
width of the car, and finished in the rich
est manner. The ceiling is of embossed
leather, covered with pure gold leaf in
two shades. The walls are finished in
carved amaranth wood and upholstered
with gold and bronze embossed leather,
on which are painted designs III harmony
with the profession OF the occupant. A
comfortable lounge, a centre table, easy
chairs, piano of PATHS favorlte make, a
book case and other furniture occupy
places in this apartment. PATHS own
sleeping apartment is gem. Unlike the
rest of the car, it is finished in satin
wood, with an exceedingly rich marquee
try of inlaid mother of pearl, ebony and
amaranth. The conveniences of this
room include a bath room and lavatOry
with both hot and cold water, two wide
and comfortable berths, a writing desk,
private wardrobes, and what appears to
be an extraordinary amount of storage
room for the baggage OF the occupants.

experiences Of the Christmas season
oucht TO teach that the highest
measures in life do not flow
from great wealth or high
bonors. though the fierce struggle for
these indicates that the popular impress

fame is sn satisfying as the happiness that
flows from the consciousness OF having
performed good deeds, or from having
brought 10Y and gladness into the lie OF
those we love. Our expressions oil love,
GOODWILL and respect take the shape oil

The Committees.

The work Of making up the committees
is completed, and the members OF the
House know the particular duty to when
they will have to specially give their at
teption during the next two years. The
Georgia members appear to be about as
we'll taken care of as the members OF
any other State. Turner gets the Chalr-
manship of the Committee on Elections,
which is quite an important committee,
Blount is third on the Ways and Means
Committee. which is accounted very re-
sponsible and honorable position, and HAM
mondI Is second on the Judiciary Commit
tee. which is one of the great committees.
About all the other Georgia members
have two places each on the minor COM
mittees. The Craftsmanship OF the W avs
and Means Committee is given to Morrl-
son: Randall gets the Craftsmanship OF
the APPROXIMATIONS Committee, and Tucker
that Of the Judiciary. These important
places were distributed in accordance
with public expectation. Cox and Bel
mont both wanted the Craftsmanship OF
the Foreign Affairs Committee, and the
Speaker appears to have found his way
out Of the difficulty which this contest
created by giving the place to Curtin.
Cox is at the head of the Naval Commit
tee. which promises to be, In this Con-
gress. a very important committee.
The committee in which we are spec
iaIlv interested in this section of Georgia
is that on Rivers and HarbOrs. 1t is not
composed Of influential men. Willis, the
Chairman. is an able and contentious
man. and his first assistant, Blanchard,
is liberal in his views respecting
the Improvement Of the waterways and
harbOrs of the country, but neither OF
them are men of great force Of character
or OF much oratorical ability. The COM
mittee will, no dOEbt, frame good bill,
but if il meets with much opposition 1t
will have great difficulty in getting
through the House. There will, OF course,
be good deal of dissatisfaction
on the part OF those who failed
10 get the places they wanted,
but the popular verdict will probably
be that the composition of the committees
show Judgment, care and a pretty thor
ough knowledge of the abilities and
qualifications of the members for the dis
charge of the special duties to which they
are assigned.

The Savannah River Improvement.

/ The Savannah River Improvement.
Senator Brown has introduced in the
Senate a bill to appropriate $53O,OOO for
the improvement of the Savannah river
The committees will be ready for work
Immediately after the holiday recess, and
the Committee on Rivers and Har6ors
will begin framing the river and harbor
bill at that time. OF course the river and
harbOr bill will have to originate in the
House. and it would be we'll for the city
authorities, the Cotton Exchange and the
Board of Trade to have their representa-
tives in Washington as soon after the
holidays as possible. Our representatives
in Congress are ready and willing to do
all they can to secure for our river an adj
equate appropriation, but they may not
be as thoroughly informed respecting our
wants as they would like to be. This
matter Of the improvement Of the Sayan-
nah river is of vital Importance to our
city. and no means ought to be
neglected to inform our Representa-
tives and Congress exactly what we
want. The results Of the work already
done prove beyond question that the plan
of improvement adopted Is certain to be
successful, and that twenty-three feet OF
water can be secured from the ocean to
the city wharves. Senator Browns bill
marks the beginning of the fight that
must be made to secure such an appro-
priation as is required, but it cannot, of
course, be acted upon until the House
bill providing for rivers and harbors
reaches the Senate. If the House COM
mittee agrees to give us what we want
there will not be much if any further diff
Guilty with regard to the matter. 1t is
necessary, therefore, that our case should
be presented to the House committee as
soon as it begins It's sessions. If there Is
a prospect that the river and harbor Dill
will not be passed before towards the end
Of the session an appropriation for con-
tinuing the work in the Savannah river
should be made at once, because the i'm
proyement already made will suffer DAM
age il work is discontinued for any con-
siderable length of time.

The movement of some of the leaders
Of the coIored people to induce Congress
to reimburse depositors of the Freedman's
Bank ought to be inquired into before
Congress takes any action in the matter.
IL would be interesting to know in the
first place who now own the certificates
OF deposit. If it were certain that an APP
preparation TO pay the depOsitors of that
remarkable swindle would reach the
original depositOrs it may be that there
would be disposition on the part of Con-
gress to vote the necessary money. 1t is
pretty certain, however, that all the rights
that the depositOrs have in the premises
are owned by spectators, who purchased
the deposit books, or certificates, for
almost nothing. May not this movement
to pay the depositors have been started
BY the spectators?

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, has signal
lied his advent in the Senate by intro
ducing a bill to establish Board of Rail-
road Commissioners, consisting Of i've
members, at a salary of $1,000 a year
each, to exercise super vision over inter-
State railroads and canals. The bill
doesn't give the board authority to fix
travel and transportation rates. An at
tempt to confer such arbitrary power on
a board Of FIVE men would hardly meet
with favor either in the Senate or House.

south Carolina's Social Sensation

Ne1C6eFry .. @ oI1ectdl, III
Among the social events looked forward
to this season was the marriage of Miss
Lulu X. Aull and Mr.. Thomas L. b. Epps,
both of whom moved among the best peo-
ple of this aristocratic Carolina town.
The lady is an orphan, little over is
years old, of striking beauty and accom-
plished manners. During last week it
was whispered that the engagement was
off indefinitely. and the sensation was
heightened when Miss Aull, through her
guardian, entered a suit for heavy dam
ages against the alleged recreant lover
for breach of promise. Mr.. Epps. through
his attorneys, has filed an answer that he
is not, and never was, engaged to the
lady. and that she has mistaken mere
courtesies for something more serious,
and saws that he will resist the suit to the
end

Christmas. leHueTlgs [ONAnSIy we llH-
ger on the word! no cyclopedia, no die
tionary. no book of any form is necessary
to define it for us. 1t stands out one of
the many good things whose existence
clearly demonstrates that
There are as many lovely things,
As many pleasant tones,
For those who sit by cottage hearths
As those who sit on thrones"
Looking back upon the Christmases
that have come and gone for us, are we
not obliged to admit that the soul which
animated this beautiful feast for us was
love?
1t wasn't simply that good things were
placed before us on this grand feast, it
was that they were given us lovingly;
and this charm is enhanced by the
knowledge that we accepted them in the
same loving spirit. This loving spirit is
that richest of all possessions-goOd will,
which is within the reach of all. "Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace
to men of good will" For the practice of
good will we are assured-ah! looked at
from a business point of view, what
grand investment-peace! And the re-
Verse of this good will is i'll will. A good
question to put to ourselves is this As
an investment, how does the practice of
i'll will paw? 1t is a noXious seed which,
cultivated. Yields such fruit as envy,
hatred, fiendishness. Not very much
thought is necessary, methinks, to arrive
at the conclusion that of the two, i'll will
and good will, the latter is the better
part. And so:
ssWe ask for peace, o. Lord.
Yet not to stand secure,
Girt round with iron pride,
Contented to endure;
Crushing the gentle strings
That human hearts should know,
Untouched by others joy
Or others woe
Thou. o, deer Lord, will never teach us so.
SIT Is thine own, o, Lord,
Who toll while others sleep;
Who SOW with loving care
What other hands shall reap;
They lean on Thee entranced,
In calm and perfect rest;
Give us that place, ., Lord,
Divine and blest,
Thou keepest for those hearts VINO love Inee
best"
What a magnificent picture gallery the
mere word places before our mental view!
AS the years advance this gallery length
ems: and each Christmas places not SIM
nIv n picture but pictures therein.
