A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
Sheep from the Plains of Arabia-Whet
They Look Like.

They Look Like.
Master Theo. MacFarland, a son of DR..
J. r. MacFarland, was the recipient a
few days ago of a pair of rather curious
pets. They are said to be Arabian sheep,
and are quite unlike our domestic sheep.
They were sent to Master Mac Farland by
Mr.. Harry McGowan, proprietor of the
Point Breeze Hotel, Baltimore. They are
five months old. Each one has a black
head and neck and a white body. The
fleece Is thick and soft. The animals are
unusually docile, and made themselves
at home in the stable and yard. The
most striking peculiaritles about them
are large pouch under the throat and
Jumps of fat on the rump on
either side of the tail The pouch
under the neck serves as receptacle for
food, which they mastcate twice, as our
domestic cattle do. 1t may also serve as
a receptacle for water, which in some
parts of it's native arid country is scarce.
Mr.. McGOwan has a number of the
sheep as curiositles. He recently pre-
scented Capt. J. B. West, of this city, with
pair. How they compare in fleece and
flesh with our domestic sheep is not
known. They are doubtless Persian
sheep, which are closely allied to the Fez-
zan breed of Africa. The Persian sheep
are marked with black head and neck
and the rest of the body white. They are
very docile and affectionate. There are
several breeds of fat-rumped
sheep in South Africa, extending
over that continent and also to Asia. The
Hottcntot or broad tailed sheep has q
short, soft fleece and two large humps of fat
on either side of the lower part of the
tail, which are so esteemed as a delicacy
that various cohtriYances are used to
prevent them from dragging on the
ground. The fat-rumped sheep of Tartary
and temperate Asia has a similar growth
lous ears. The reason Of this accumula.
ton OF fat, sometimes 10 to 80 pounds, has
not been satisfactorily determined.

CONQUEST of the Tusearoras

The interesting historical lecture on the
Indian history of the South, delivered by
Col. Edward Cantwell for the benefit of
the fund of the Jasper Monument Asso-
citation last year, is remembered with
pleasure by the large audience that list
ened to its delivery. At that time Col.
Cantwen promised to prepare another

the Indians, which would embrace
the period of the conquest and expulsion
Of the TuscarOras. Owing to his engage

Gently had time to prepare his proposed
address, and now that it Is ready, those
who listened TO his first installment of his
very interesting and entertaining story
are anxious 10 have him deliver another
which will complete his first address. 1t
is 10 be hoped that some one OF the nu-
merous societies in Savannah will prevail
upon Col. Cantwell TO deliver his lecture
on the Conquest and Expulsion of the
Tuscaroras" at an early day.

An Interesting civil Case In the City
Court.

The attention of the City Court was oc-
cupied during the sitting yesterday with
the trial OF the case Of the Savannah Bank
ing and Trust Company against A. l..
Hartridge. The matter was brought up
on Thursday, when a portion of the testi-
mony was taken and recess was or
dered until yesterday morning. This case
was tried in the same court at former
term, when the plaintiff obtained a. YER
dict for about $4,000, the whole Of the
amount claimed as due on Hartridge's
note being about ST, 100, besides interest.
The argument of the respective counsel
yesterday was concluded about ) O'Clock
when the case was taken by the jury for
the purpose of making a verdict. That
body evidently were under the belief that
both the principals to the suit had been
negligent In the matter, tor they returned
a verdict, after being out about three
hours, In favor of the plaintiff for one
half the amount claimed, that is to say,
about $500 besides interest at per
cent. and counsel fees.

OPPosING HIGHER RATES.
Whist the Grain aud Flour Men Say
About the Matter.

The meeting OF the members of the
Board Of Trade, announced for yesterday
morning, was slimIy attended. The object
was to consider the petition Of the various
railroads asking the Railroad Commission
for an Increase in the rates on grain and
flour to the figures in force prior to Feb.
10, 1882. The railroads claim that the
present rates are too low, and that they
are not making any money in carrying
corn, wheat, -four and meal In a cir
cuar sent to the Commissioners about
a month ago, the railroads gave d table
comparing the rates charged by the
Georgia lines and the rates in force on
Southern and Western roads. The table
shows plainly that Georgians ray con-
siderably less freight per mile on these
articles than is charged elsewhere. 1t is
said that the Old rates were nearly double
the present ates for distances less than
100 miles.
The business men who are taking an
interest in the matter declare that res
tOratlOn of the rates will discriminate ma
terially against Savannah. New Orleans
is the active competitor of Savannah in
South and Southwest Georgia. Flour
can now be shipped to Townsville for
about 30 cents barrel. If the rate is made
90 cents New Orleans will be benefited to
the extent of an additional handicap of
30 cents per barrel. Macon, Atlanta
and Savannah would be placed on about
the same relative positions that they are
now, although this city might feel the eff
fects more than the others. The circular
referred TO above says that while the eX-
listing rates made no difference to the
shipper, and but little to the consumer, they
have a very damaging effect upon the
railroads whose tonnage is largely made
up Of the articles in question.
Another meeting Will be held this mOru-
ing and doubtless some one will be
selected to appear before the Railroad
Commission at its meeting in Atlanta
next week, when the companies are ex-
pected TO urge the matter.

AssAILED IN TIE MOTT.

Battery Park Waterman Knocked
Senseless at the Pavilion.
Yesterday morning about O'Clock WI
ley Brown, in the employ OF the City and
Suburban Railway as Waterman at Bat
terry Park, was awakened by knock at
the door Of his room in the park pavilion.
He inquired what was wanted, and was
asked what time it was. He gave the in
formation, when the inquirer asked if he
had any water in his room, and if 80,
would he not pass out a drink of it.
Brown, suspecting no attack, opened his
room door, when his assailant struck him a
heavy blow on the head. Brown was
found about daylight by some of the en-
ployes of the railway company In par
TALLY dazed condition. He was sent TO
his home on the Ogeechee road. Judging
from the time which interviewed between
the hour when the assault was made and
when Brown was found, it was concluded
that the blow had knocked him senseless,
and that he must have remained in that
condition up to about the time he was
discovered by the employees Of the CON-
pany,
Brown was unable to give even par
tai description Of his assailant, or TO ac-
count for the attack. The injury, though
serious, is not regarded as dangerous.

regard to the guard dnty, they all did it..
For instance, the H0ustOns, who won

duty? But of course it is as usual. AS

A few weeks since Mr.. W. Barnwell,

well, therefore, sent IL to the Department

he received reply, which Is printed be-
