Help the Guards.

The Guards Bazaar, which was opened
last Thursday, and which will remain
open several days, is something more to
the people of Savannah than a simple ex-
hibition in which the members Of that an
cient corps and its friends are interested.
The purpose of the bazaar is TO assist in
raising money to pay for the elegant build
ing which is about being completed
for an arsenal. Some sort OF build
ing might have been erected with
the money which the Guards had
on hand when they decided to build an
arsenal, but, with pride worthy of true
soldiers, and receiving encouraging
words on every hand, they determined to
erect building that would be an orna-
ment TO the city. To do this required a
much larger sum than was at first esti-
mated, and it is to meet this additional
outlay that the Guards are seek
ing assistance from the pub
lie. There are very few citizens who are
not able to contribute dollar or two to so
worthy an object, particularly as the con-
tribution will not be without a substantial
return. All who visit the Bazaar are pretty
certain OF getting not only tue worth OF the
money they may spend there, but they will
also have the satisfaction OF feeling that
they have contributed something towards
the building of the handsomest arsenal in
the South. Much might be said of the
services of the Guards as soldiers. Their
record from Georgia to Virginia, from
Fort Pulaski to Appomattox, is one in
which the people of this city and State
ieel a just pride. The Guards are no
longer in the field, but as citi-
zen soldiers they are doing their part no.

the land. The Arsenal for which
the Guards are trying to pay is home

The last tine | met Gen. HancOck was on
Decoration ay, 1885. | shall always remem-
Drr an III ilent at the Windsor hotel, in
which he was the prime factor and President
Cleveland participant. Gen. Hancock came
early from Governors Island. He ordered
some champagne in the parlor set aside for
himself au aides and they were slipping it
when President Cleveland, Secretaries Endi-
colt and Whitney, and Postmaster General
Villas were ushered in. The President had
come from Secretary Whitney's house on Fifth
avenue, ami they were TO await ut the Wind
s0r he starting of the parade. The members
OF the Cabinet were soon engaged in the same
pleasant task as tn officers The President
stood back by the big fire ulgce. Different
members of the party engaged him In CONVEX
sation. No one, however, had the courage to
offer HIM glass Of wine, especially as the
door was partly open and persons were pass
ing and repassng who looked in to see the
nOtables. Gen. Hancock glanced over at the
President once or twice. Finally he said
quite loudly to the waiter IN attendance:
us there any water here. waiter? The
President would like a glass of water"
Meanwhile he had poured a large goblet
nearly full Of champ gne without any one in
the room paying much attention to him. The
wa ter pointed out water set at the side of
the room. Gen. Hancock went over to it and
went through the movement of pouring some
water INTO the goblet. Then stepped up TO
the President and said, with a low:

MIR. Cleveland took the glass with a smile
and drank part of Its contents, thanking the
General for his courtesy.

George ID. Prentice and Capt. Wander
bilt.

NJ. s. Dyer, Of Canton, Conn, in a letter to
the Louisville Q uFieT-IOUrndl. gives An &C
count of shOYt bui interesting interview be-
tween George d. Prentice and member OF
the Vanderbilt family. He saws that when
Prentice was publishing the Weekly ReDie1o at
Hartford Commodore Vanderbilt put the
steamer Iexii gton on the route from New
York to Hartford, and John Vanderbilt,
brother of the Commodore, was the Captain,
He was OF an Overbearlng disposition, ana
soon became unpopular. Mr.. Prentice pub
Ii-h' some remarks upon his conduct which
eXasperated him, and he went to the office Of
the Rsgis1o for he purpose of giving Prentice
thrashing. The Office was in the third story
OF the bul ding, the stars running straight
from the street door. Wand rbilt made his
business known, and in about two minutes
found himself lying on the sidewalk in front
OF the door. He picked himself up and went
back to hIs boat, swearing vengeance against
Prentice. In The next issue OF the heCiea0
Prentice published a card to Vanderbilt
telling him tina, he could try again if he
wished, but he wanted to have him under
stand that he weighed thirteen stone, used
both hands with equal deXterity. and swung
pair of fists like the halyard blocks Of an
call.

tried to get four years ago, when its ann
bilious designs were so promptly checked
by Congress.
Representative DAVIS bill provides for
the appointment by the President of
Commissioner OF Health. 10 be chosen
from civil life, and TO receive a salary OF
$4,000 year. He is TO be the head OF the
bureau, which is TO be attached to the
Department OF the Interior. The Depart
ment OF State is required to obtain
from consular officers in foreign
ports and places all avail
able information in regard to
the sanitary condition Of such ports and
places and transmit the same to the bu-
reau. The commissioner, under the direc-
ton of the Secretary Of the Interior, is to
frame rules which shall serve for the in
structiOn OF consular officers Of the United
States and of the medical officers serving
at any foreign port. In compliance with
these rules every master Of a vessel des-
tined for port of the United States must
be furnished with a certificate containing
detailed statement OF the inspection OF
the vessel, cargo, crew, and passengers,
and of the sanitary measures carried out
at the expense of the vessel, or, if such
measures are not carried out, instant
warning is to be transmitted TO the bureau.
The bureau is charged with the investiga-
ton, both in this country and in others, if
necessary, Ofthe nature, origin and proven
tion of infectious and epidemic diseases,
as well as of the causes and conditions of
particular outbreaks of disease in the
United States, and with the publication
and distribution of documents relating to
the prevention OF disease. The President
is authorized, when requested by the bu-
reau, to detail officers from the several de-
partments of the government for tenn
pOrary duty, to act under the direction of
the bureau without extra compensation,
and when detail of suitable officers can
not be made the Commissioner may en-
ploy experts for such time and in such
manner as the funds at the disposal OF the
bureau may warrant. The bill appro-
PIRATES $4,000 to be disbursed under the
direction Of the Secretary OF the Interior,
on the requisition Of the Commissioner of
Health.
That the passage Of this bill would give
us the National Board OF Health in new
shape there can be no doubt. II would
be under the management of
the Interior instead of the Treas
ury Department, but would doubtless be
directed by the same men who have al
ways had the direction of the National
Board of Health.
