SAFELY KEPT.

I PETER, LIS.
He watcheth Ger me day by day.
He calls me when I 90 astray,
For when He putteth forth His sheen.
Still watch and ward the Lord doth keer
And goeth on before them,
To guide them, and restore them
He intercedeth hour by hour
That may nee from Satan's power.
And lest my feeble faith should fail
He prayeth, ana His prayers prevail
And so. though stumbling ever,
My soul can leave Him-neyer-
My Priest within the vail
He watcheth DER me-that is true
And yet the world troops on in view,
And self and sin a-weary be,
With setting tolls and snares for me-
Oh! spread Thy banner Ger me.
And fight my battles for me,
And let me win through Thee.
Thou art my Helper in the fight
My shield by day-my rest by night.
And Thou canst teach my lips a song
To praise Thy beauty all day long,
My Lord and gracious Master,
Still teach me fast and faster
To trust Thee all day long.
Make me to be Thy very own,
Giving myself to Thee alone:
Loving all others after Thee
My Lord, my Lord who lovcth NO.
So shall Thy safest keeping
Hold me, awake or sleeping
Thy love my solace be.

A Surf Bather from Cincinnati

Few women go into the surf at Long
| Branch. It has come to be regarded as
| questionable form among set that fan
| cies it makes fashion, and the women
who do take publicly to the sea are
| thought to show quite too much individ-
uality. One dashing young woman, who
| is either superior to or unaccustomed to
| sOciety's newest rules, is a gorgeous spec
| tacle all in herself, She is a beWitching
brunette, and comes down to the sands at
| IL or whereabouts covered from head to
foot in a mantle of white Turkish stuff,
relieved by broad red stripes. She is ac-
cOmpanied by her French maid and a
natty little Frenchman, who looks like a
| teacher of department, but really fills the
office of "bathlng man." She calls him
Arsene. He wears knee breaches, tight,
short jacket, silk hose, slippers without
heels, and jaunty silk skull cap, held IN
place by an elastic band. The color of
his whole attire is sOmbre black. The
maid places a camp stool on the sands,
and shades it with parti-cOlored pOrta-
bic awning.
Everything being ready, the mistress
throws off her mantle, losses it to her
maid servant, and stands a beautiful pic
ture on the golden sands. She is encased
in light red merino from her neck to her
knees. Her arms and lower limbs are

Her short tunic is edged with lace. Her
lustrous black hair is unbound, and floats
out on the wind. Her bathing man, at
her command, lifts her up in his arms and
carries her with stately step into the sea
until he is knee deep. Then he suddenly
plunges her under a big breaker. She
comes up with a sputter and the usual
feminine shrek. Arsene smiles and
speaks to her assuringly. He submerges
her no more, but gently floats her over the
waves for five or ten minutes, and then
carries her out. The ready maid throws
the capacious Turkish robe over the wet
form, and Arsene once more takes up his
charge and hurries with her into her own
apa. tments at the hotel. The maid fol-
lows and assists her to make the toilet
with which she will at night make men
wonder and women enYious. The lady is

WHY TIE GAME WAS OFF.
What the President of the Browns an
the Captain of the Dixies Say AbOU

What the President of the Browns and
the Captain of the Dixies Say About
the Atlanta Deal.
The off game between the DiXies and
Browns at Atlanta on Saturday created
considerable talk yesterday in base ball
circles. There was considerable money
on the game, and its result was anAiOusly
awaited. The action of the DiXies Is gen.
orally sustained. After the match had
been declared off, President Nerdery, OF
the Browns, said TO an Atlanta reporter:
You see Burns was hurt in Friday
game, and that night Capt. Foster tele-
grapned to the Clinch catcher to come.
He obtained : bona tide release from his
club. and came up under pay from the
Browns. He was then the came. as any
other member of the Browns, but Capt.
Lewis. of the DiXies, refused to play If we
kept the Clinch man. Capt. Foster
thought be was right and would not yield.
Can't. Lewis likewise. and this prevented
the game. 1t was not Capt. Fosters IN
tentiOn to put the Clinch man behind the
bat unless Burns was seriously hurt. lie
intended TO put Burns there and keep him
there as long as he could play. Capt.
Foster claimed him as a Brown. He wore
the Brown uaif0rm. and is now drawing
his pay from the Browne
Capt. Lewis, Of the Dlxies, upon being
asked about the trouble said:
Il regret the disappointment we were
forced to give the Atlanta people, who
have so generously patroniZed us, but you
can never know the intense feeling that
exists between the DiXies and the Browns,
together with their friends. We agreed
to play on neutral grounds, IN order to
settle which club was the better fitted TO
claim the championship between Savan-
nan aud Augusta. There was a great
deal of money on these Atlanta games,
and when the Browns wanted TO ring in
Merritt, of the Clinch battery, on me, L
simply couldn't afford to compromise my
Savannah hackers, and so refused to play.
i am satisfied that Burns could not play
in his condition, but that Is the misfortune
Of the Browns. Our man Fitzgerald is
also badly used up, but we didn't want or
intend to bring in a professional battery
from another club. This is the whole
story"
The Chronicle says: Augusta was all
excitement Saturday afternoon for news
from Atlanta. Public sentiment was
against the Browns playing the DIXIes in
Atlanta. The -JiXies withdrew from the
game here without cause, and had spoken
unjustiy Of the Browns and Augusta on
their return home. The dignIied stand
taken DN the bTOWhEs THAI Jueg NOulu
not play the DiXies again until they re-
turned TO Augusta and finished the game
they had deserted was universally COM
mended, and their coming down from this
position and going to Atlanta to play
them was universally regretted. The
sequel proves the improperly OF the
Browns concession" Capt. Fosters firm
stand IS highly commended.
The DiXies VIII play an exhibition game
in Griffin to-day, and will reach Savannah
tomorrow morning.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Bright Flashes of Intelligence from
Near and Affair.


A new time table went into effect on the
Central Railroad and branches yesterday.
The South Carolina Railroad is building
an elegant stone bridge to replace the
present dilapidated wooden structure
across the Savannah river.
The report of the committee Offifteen on
rates and rules governing transportation
to the Worlds Exposition at New Orleans
in December, 1884, has been published. A
round trip rate OF one fare has been agreed
upon between most cities and New Or
leans, the tickets to be placed on sale Dec.
l. and withdrawn 10 days before the clos
ing of the Exposition.
The TumOr that an effort will be made
to nullify the lease of the Georgia Rail
road by the Central Road has been re-
vived again. 1t is said that two pTOmi-
nent lawyers have been consulted, and
they entertain the opinion that the lease
is invalid and can be successfully at
tackled. In the event of certain cOntin-
gencies it is probable the attempt Will be
made, presumably upon article w., para
graph 4 of the state constitution, which
reads: The General Assembly OF this
State shall have no power to authorize
any corporation to buy shares or stock in
any other corporation in this State or else
where, or to make any contract or agree
ment whatever with any such corpora
ton, which may have the effect, or be in
tended to have the effect, to defeat or les
sen competition in their respective bust
nesses. or to encourage monopoly; and all
such contracts and agreements shall be
illegal and void" The defense will urge
that the lease was made to individuals,
W. NJ. Wadley and associates, and it is
also intimated that if the dull times con-
tinue that the Georgia road will not be
able to earn the rental, II per cent, and
hence the Central Will be willing TO sur
render the lease

The Columbus Champions at the Park
Tbis Afternoon.


Tbis Afternoon.
The Stars-the crack club Of Columbus
which defeated the Atlantas on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, will
reach the city this morning and
play the OglethOrpes this after
noon and tomorrow at Base Ball
Park. The Stars showed what they could
do when they played in Savannah last
month. They have made a crack record
i'm Atlanta and Augusta and will bring
their best players with them. The Ogle-
thOrpes have been extremely fortunate IN
arranging these games.
Manager Bohan has been actively
at work irving to arrange series with
the Stars for some time, but, owing
70 all their dates being taken, he has been
unable up to now to arrive at any definite
arrangement. The Oe4ethOTpes will put
their best nine in the field, and a close
match is assured. Comm will stand in
the box. and the entire nine will be placed
TO the best possible advantage. The game
Will be called at 4 O'Clock, cars running
directly to the Park.
Macon is getting crazy for a chance to
witness a game, and wants some Of the
crack clubs TO meet there. As an induce
ment she offers to put their grounds in
the best of order and assures good au-
dience. The Messenger says: Macon has
heretofore exhibited but few symptoms of
the base ball fever now raging with IN
tense heat in Columbus, and with little
less heat in Atlanta, Augusta and Sayan-
nah. But since the professional has in
vaded the State and given exhibitions of
the curves IN pitching and lightning work
at the bats, Macon is aroused. She is now
exceedingly anxious that the third three
dav series of games between the Atlantas
and Stars be played upon her grounds.
The game between the Georgia Hussars
and Company B Of the Guards tomorrow
afternoon promises to be one OF the most
interesting military team matches of the
season.
The High Flyers and Dudes Will play at
Prospect Park this afternoon.
