Touching the theory that dropping the
final "g" is especially characteristic of
the educated English, Critic correspon-
dent notes number of cases in Mrs.
Brownng's poems where such words as
| ruin are made to rhyme with such
words as doing" The Critic reminds
its correspondent that Wordsworth was
guilty of similar lapses, even in his 'In-
timations of Immortality"
In the field of literature we know of
only two women wits who can be called
of the fist class-Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu and Miss Catharine Fanshawe.
Lady Mary's prose work, as most people
know, is full of life and charm her verse,
too, has cor siderable point and piquancy.
Probably, the best thing she ever did in
that way was her admirable summary Ct
Lord Lyttle.on's priggish "Counsels of
| Friend -
"Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet
In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet"
Edger A. Poe wrote a remarkably leg
ible hand with steel pen, and was ex-
| tremely careful to introduce all the need
ed commas, semicolons, and other punc-
tuation marks. Each page of the manu-
script was a small 12mo, pasted carefully
to the next page as soon as finished: so
that the result was a long sheet of mat
ter which looked like scroll. A gen.
tleman well known in New York has a
beautiful example OF poe's penmanshir,
which he prizes highly, and for which he
has been offered large sum.
The first two or three pages of the
Critic of Nov. 18th, were devoted to an
account Of the home-life of Mr.. Z. c.
Stedman, whose "Poets of America" has
just appeared, and whose Library Of
American Literature" is rapidly nearing
completion. The poets own house in
New York was particularly described,
though just now he and his family are
occupying that of Mrs. Bayard Taylor,
in another part of the city; and there was
an interesting description of his summer
home at New Castle, n. II.
Rev. Mr.. Haweis aud his wife, who are
known in England as popular writers
upon art and skillful compilers, have Wis
tied this country, at the invitation of
many Americans and American societies,
notably Mr.. Andrew D. White, the Low
ell Institute of Boston, and the Nine
teenth Century Club of New York. The
principal works of Mr.. Haweis are "Mu-
sic and Morals" Thoughts for the
Time" and "My Musical Memories" ."
In appearance Mr.. naweis is small,
slight, and very active, in spite of
lameness that has afflicted him since
boyhood. His face is keen, sensitive, and
intellectual Mrs. Haweis is a daughter
of 7. NJ. JOY, the artist.

man Warren of the State Central
Committee. The roll having been

the State Central Committee had
agreed upon Senator Warner Miller
for temporary chairman. In his ad-
dress Miller called attention to the
fact that the Republican party of the
State, for the first time in twenty. FIVE
years, was confronted by both Fed

speaker maintained that throughout

An enormous Socialist meeting was
held at Lime House, London. The

the crowd followed the police, boot

rushes to liberate their companions;
but the police held their ground we'll
and beat them back with their clubs.
The prisoners were brought before a
magistrate and fined and imprisoned
for short periods for obstructing the
police in the discharge of their duty.
During the hearing the police arrest
ed William Morris for assaulting
them. Morris declared that the po-
ico had hustled and assaulted sever
al lady witnesses. Bennett Burleigh,
journalist, corroborated the evidence
of Morris, and said the police kicked
his leg. Further hearing of the case
was adjourned.

nothing will intervene to prevent a
speedy conclusion. The District At

DEEP SEA sOUNDINGs.
Some Valuable Work Being Done by the
United States Cutter "Blake."

The United States cutter Blake passed
this port on Wednesday and put into
Charleston late Wednesday night. The
Blake started several months ago for the
Northwest Providence channel for the
purpose of taking deep sea soundlngs, but
shortly afterwards left there to anchor In
the Gulf stream, between the Fowey
rocks and the Bahama banks.
The spot where the Blake anchored was
just 200 miles east of the deepest part OF
the Atlantic Ocean,, 800 fathOms IN
depth-1iscovered by Capt. Pillsbury two
years ago. The Blake anchored in 4ol
fathoms, and succeeded in dredg-
ing up large quantity OF
specimens of animal and vegetable
life. These are under the charge of DR..
Rush, u. 5. N, but they have not yet been
tabulated. and when this is done, among
them will probably be found many spe-
Giles hitherto comparatively, if not en-
tirely, unknown. But until they shall
have been tabulated DR.. Rush does not
care to have them inspected by the unset
entifc world.
Capt. Plllsbury's current motor-his
own inventiOn-worked most satisfac-
torily, as did all his apparatus. The mo-
tor measured the spread and velocity of
the currents in 81, 10, 80, 65 and $50
fathoms of water. Though Capt, Pills
bury has not yet completed the ca1cula-
tiOns bearing upon the velocity Of deep
sea currents from the data on his charts,
he says he is pretty well convinced that
in the lower depths the change in the We
loclty is not so great as towards the sur
face. The surface currents are stronger
with the detection OF the moon, and as
this detection in these ATTITUDES was
always greatest at this time OF the year
towards the full moon, it follows these
surface currents are now at their strong
est.
1t is plain, from his observations during
the past three months, that the strength
of current of the Gulf Stream is iuvaria-
bly, on the Florida instead Of the Bahama
side of the stream. He has found the tenn
perature'of the stream to range from ~
degrees to 81 degrees Tue greatest We
locity of the stream at the surfaceis about
AZ knots, but the fluctuations are fire.
quent and great.
Altogether Capt. Pillsbury has had a
most satisfactory voyage, and when his
observations shall have been properly
tabulated, and his calculations deducted
ne says he will be able to give the scien-
titc world treat as to deep sea sounding,
current velocity, animal and vegetable
life, and the earth's surface for miles un-
der the sea.

From Monday, June /; we shall offer in
every department of our store various
lines of goods, at sweeping reduction,
thus giving to the ladies of Savannah and
vicinity an opportunity for GENUINE
BARGAINS seldom presented. Upon in
spection you will find in many instances
the goods offered are about half what they
are worth, and they are all fresh, desir-
able goods-no old stock. In making pub
lie announcement of this great and all
important transaction it will be necessary
to dwell briefly on certain facts, so that a
true and correct conception of the actual
particulars of this sale may be conveyed
to the public mind. First and foremost
we would impress on our patrons the very
important fact that in a few months we
Will vacate our present store and occupy
the spacious building now in course-Of
construction on corner BroughtOn and
Bull streets. When finished it will be by
far the largest retail store in the State,
and Will compare in size and style of ar
chiteeture with any in the entire South.
We are Over-stocked, and our New York
! buyers advise us to close out our stock of
goods no matter at what price, as the
enormous contracts which they are now
making with manufacturers in the North
and East are much lower than what pres
ent stock was bought. Therefore we are
compelled at once 10 close out the balance
of our stock, In most instances, without
one cent of profit to ourselves, countin Z
ourselves sufficiently repaid by the OPP
pOrtunity afforded US to close our entire
stock so that we will be able to move into
our new building with an entirely new
line of goods. 1t also enables the hou Sc
of A. r. AltmaYer Il Co. to achieve that
which all heretofore have been pOwerless
TO accomplish, namely: To offer prime
new stock of goods which in a large ma
jOrity OF instances fall far short of cover
ing their cost of production, and are
| throughout the most thorough and posi-
tive values ever before offered 10 the people
of Savannah and vicinity.
We will not name prices as prices give
no definite idea of value, but ask you if
| you have anything in our many depart
ments to purchase, or if you are likely to
need anything in the near future it will
repay you TO visit us, even if you are
compelled to make long journey, as we
| propose TO sell most of our goods without
one cent of profit, state of things which
we think never before existed in this city.
A public benefit remains for the house of
A. Il. Altmayer & Co. to accomplish,
which they submit with all their privi-
leges and advantages to their num-
berless kind and appreciative patrons.
