oEE For NEW ORLEANS.

The Chathams on Their Way to the Ex-
pOsitiOn-Their Escort to the Depot
Last Night.
The Chatham Artillery left for New Or
leans last night on a special train of Gen.
trail Railroad sleepers. The company as
sembled at the armory at s O'Clock IN IA
tigue uniform. At 3 O'Clock the New Or
leans delegation was escorted to the depot
by a detachment under command of Capt.
j. f. Wheaton, and headed by the Union
Cornet Band. The rain was pouring in
torrents when the company left the
armOry, and the march to the
depot was under umbrellas. A
delegation of the Chathams'
friends was already in waiting in the car
shed, and as the company marched
through the gates from the waiting
rooms to the train, the roof Of the building
echoed with cheers.
The special train was in charge of Con-
ductor Powers, and was made up of the
Chsthams' special car, three Pullman
cars occupied by the railroad officials re-
turning from the exposition and Florida,
and one baggage car. The first car
was occupied by the Chathams. The
train left few minutes ahead of the
regular night express, and will run
through without stop to Atlanta, arriving
there at JnlS morning. Inc CudIndns
will remain in Atlanta until l O'Clock
this afternoon, when they will leave via
the Georgia Pacific Railway, arriving in
New Orleans ate O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The company is under command of
Lieut. r. F. Harmon, in the absence of
Capt. Wheaton, who was unable to make
the trip, and comprises the members
whose names were given in the NEWS
yesterday morning.
As the bell rang for the departure OF
the train, there was a general shak-
ing of hands and rush for
the car. The escort fell into
line on the platform, the band struck up
"Dixie," and the train pulled into the
darkness, followed by three cheers and a
tiger from the crowd.
The company will spend Monday visit
ing the exposition, and on Tuesday will
take part in the exercises Of Georgia day,
acting, in conjunction with the other
companies from the State, as an escort to
the Governor.
The special car which is chartered for
the trip will be held in New Orleans until
the company is ready to return, probably
on Sunday or Monday of next week.

Interesting to EVERYDAY


An item about Satin Ribbons, in the
MORNING NEWS, affords a curious con-
firmation of our statement the other day,
that we sell you the same goods at less
money than the exclusive stores, and still
we make no boast of selling at Northern
prices. When you next see a "bargain"
in Satin Ribbons in the paper, remember
that what they advertise as bargains
and Will only sell you two or three yards,
and not bolt, we will only be too happy
to supply you with as much as you want
at 40 per cent. less than their advertised
bargains. For instance; We quote Satin
Ribbons No. 4, 217 cents; No. 3, cents !;
No. I, 4 cents; No. 8, cents; No. u, cts.
What presumption to advertise at North
ern prices and at figures so much above
ours! One is ashamed to use it. But it
is a good word. But let US turn to an
other subject.
Our Millinery Department has in store
for you a surprise-the latest novelties,
combined with our own manufacture.
We will not say that our Hats are
cheap. We only ask you to look at
them, and compare them with the price
aud quality OF other stores. We ex-
tend special invitation to you to call
and look at our opening tomorrow and
Tuesday, whether you wish to buy or not.
QUILL not be asked to do so, or your
queries in regard to goods meet with
other than cheerful replies. We also ask
you while here to walk through our build
ing and take glimpse into each of our
many departments, and if you've been
dealing with other houses, compare this
immense collection of goods with their
prices. Ten minutes spent here will be
better argument in our favor than any
we can write. A. r. ALTMAYER & Co.

BLOOMING ON HIS BIRTHDAY.
A Rare Orchid Filling the White House
Conservatory with Fragrance.

During the Hayes administration a
quantity of orchids were shipped from
Brazil TO the United States for the White
House conservatory, says a special of
March is to the New York World, and on
one of the blocks gardener Pfster discover
ed peculiar-lOoklng seed. 1t was planted
and in the course of year tiny sprout
appeared, the base of which broadened
like an onion. Great care was bestowed
upon the new plant, which investi CATION
showed to be an Authurium ventricosum,
a very rare member of the lily family. In
fact, there is but one other specimen
known outside of South America, and
that is in the Kew Gardens of London, Eng
land. The new plant put out a bloom to-
day, which resembles the Gala lily the up
per portion of the lip being creamy white
and the base of a maroon color. Every
leaf produces one and sometimes two
blossoms six inches long and three inches
wide. 1t has been placed in the conser-
vatory proper, where it attracts Il great
deal of attention from visitors on account
of it's exquisite fragrance. In this respect
it is like the Magnolia grandiflora, and the
conservatory is filed with the odor from
the bursting blossoms. This plant is val
ued at 81, 900. and is justly considered one
of the curiosities of the conservatory at
the Executive Mansion, and next in i'm
portance tn the famous sage palm, whose
age is stated to be 200 years. 1t may be
named in honor of the President, on
whose birthday it has blossOmed. A new

A SAD CASE.
The MisfOrtunes and UnhappIness of
the Lepinsky Family.

The MisfOrtunes and UnhappIness of
the Lepinsky Family.
A sad case of domestic misfortune nd
unhappiness was brought to light in the
Superior Court yesterday in the trial of
the suit for alimOny brought by Ernestine
Lepinsky against her husband, Joseph.
Lepinsky is a shoemaker on Broughton
street. For long time he and his wife
have lived unhappily together.
They have frequently quarreled
and a number of times voluntarily
separated. The wife claimed that she
was left wholly without means by her
husband, and was compelled to provide
for her children as best she could. having
no means of her own. For some time she
has been cared for by the Hebrew BenevO-
lent Society. The husband is an industri-
Gus man but miser, and although pro-
vIding place for his wife to stay, he
compelled her to seek her living
the best way she could. The case
was finally investigated by the
woman's friends, and finding that she
was neglected by her nusoa.,,dli;; who had
ample means TO provide for her if he
would, the matter was taken into the
courts on a suit for alimoDy. After
hearing the evidence of a number
of witnesses. the court rendered judy
ment granting temporary alimOny until a
further hearing of the case for
permanent alimony could be had.
The court ordered that $40 should be
paid at once to relieve the wOman's i'm
mediate wants, and that ST per week
should be paid until further bNo~,,,.,
During the progress of the trial it
was shown that Lepinsky had some
thing over 500 deposited in the Savings
Department ofthe Southern Bank. He had
takaS the precautiOn, however, to have 1t
deposited in the name Of another party,
so that the fact Of his having the money
should not be discovered. The matter was
brought out through the evidence of the
bank officials. Inrendering judgment the
court directed that the alimOny should be
paid out of this fund until exhausted, and
that the husband should be required
to enter into bonds for the paym of the

His Address at Masonic Hall and Re

The temperance people of Savannah are
in readiness for Gov. st. John tomorrow.
He will arrive on the Central train from
Augusta in the afternoon, and will be
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Jackson
at the Screven House. At 4:30 O'Clock he
will receive, in the parlOrs of the Screven
House, all who may feel a desire to meet
him. An attorney of recognized ability,
it is expected that some of the legal
fraternity, as we'll as the temperance
people, wish to meet him. The reception
will be entirely informal, and in fact, this
is the first city in the South at which a
reception has been rendered him, his
wishes being against it. There is no
doubt of the fact that he will be greeted
with large audience tomorrow night.

ashIon Notes.

Lace over satin is the favorite brides
| dress.
Satin foulards combined with cloth make
stylish spring suits.
Marabout trimmings are very fashion
able for ball dresses.
Hats will be worn almost to the exclu-
sion of bOnnets in the spring.
The princesse style of dress is in high
favor for new evening toilets.
Etamine striped ana Drr2che with velvet
comes among spring novelties.
Gold and silver braid will be used to
excess in trimming spring cashmeres.
Soft surah sashes are worn around the
waist under zouave and Eton jackets.
Blue and white check silks of small de-
sign make pretty dresses for girls Of Z
and s.
Red in many peculiar and bright tints
is among the most popular colOrs in
spring millinery.
Outside jackets are made of the mate
rial of the walklng-suit, and are finished
by large buttons.
D0uble-breasted waists are in great de-
mand. They are particularly becoming
to slender figures.
White pique dresses made perfectly
plain are to be worn extensively by little
misses this summer.
Embroidery of every description is seen
upon many of the handsOmest imported
visiting and carriage dresses.
Some exquisite little shoes for babies
are of thick white satin, with a spray of
fOrget-me-nOts embroidered on the toe.
The Elton is a new cutaway jacket,
pointed in the back and very short on the
sides, where it barely reaches the waist
line.
All shades of gray are seen in the i'm
ported toilets. A very pretty dress is of
dOve-gray merino, heavily braided with
shaded silver braid.
POinted-toed shoes for gentlemen are
| again revived, much to the delight of
many young men. Cloth uppers are,
| however, out of fashion.
! The newest trimming for hats consists
of dried twigs, singly or in punches, either
vanished or gilded, and through which a
! tiny beetle or some pretty insect appears
to be creeping.
Many black cashmere suits for spring
wear have plain stuff skirts, made in
| plain, simple styles, kits preferred, over

In fabrics for spring costumes the style:

hair-lined stripes and minute dots and
other small figures, in silk, wool or che
mile.
Jerseys of all kinds will be worn this
spring. Those box-plaited back and from

Avariety of articles made from so-called
phosphoric glass, which is composed SIM
ply Of phosphate of lime, have been ex-
hibited to the French Academy of Sciences
by Mons. Sidot. Unlike ordinary kinds,
this glass resists the action of fluoric ACID !,
andit will probably be useful to chemists
and others on that account. A novel use
of it in connection with cremation IS sug-
gested by Mons. Henry de Parveille, who
proposes that the phosphate of lime re-
naming as the ashes of each burned body
be converted into phosphoric glass, and
then nodded into vase, medallion, or
statuette of the person from whom it has
been derived.

In N y n A3AIt1I
Through all the shifting scenes of life.
For us, alas, there is no meeting,
But far beyond the stars that shine,
We find our longed for greeting.
In Heaven, mid all Gods myriad host,
When sweetest strains are swelling,
Well greet each other face to face,
While life's sad story telling.
The empty arms we stretched to God,
Will overflow with treasure
For out the hollow of His hand,
He pOurs no stinted measure.
Oh lonely earth, all filed with graves,
Ope Heaven where friends are found,
Dear land where love lives on forever
And perfect peace and JOY abound.
