THE BRIG KENNEDY LIBELLED.

A Seaman Sues for His Wages and Dam
ages for In-Treatment.
A libel suit for wages and damages
against the brig Sarah f. Kennedy was
begun before Judge Speer in the United
States Court yesterday.
Herman Anderson and others, formerly
seamen on the brig, were the libellants,
and were represented by j. j. Abrams,
ESQ. The respondent was represented by
Messrs. Chisholm & Erwin. Soon after
arriving at this port the Captain of the
brig had Anderson arrested on a warrant,
charging him with attempted mutinv in
port. Magistrate Molina committed him
to Jail, where he was confined, subject to
the Captains orders. After two weeks
Imprisonment Anderson was released,
but was arrested a few days later on a
warrant, charging him with attempting
TO incite mutiny on the high sea. At the
hearing on that warrant Anderson was
discharged. Besides his wages, he sues
for damages for ill-treatment.

Calhoun.

Forty years ago, when the making of
Chewing Tobacco was confined to the
country districts Of Virginia, old man
Spencer, OF Henry county, found market
for mis- product by wagoning it through
Georgia and the Carolinas. At that time
the consumption of tobacco in those States
did not equal the annual sales of any OF
the prominent tobacconists now located
in our city, Mr.. Spencer's admiral ton
for the great statesman induced him to
call his favOrIte brand calhoun and
since the development of the photographic
art, perfect likeness of Calhoun orna-
ments every box. Large crops are closely
selected to obtain even few leaves wor-
thy of this brand. This fact, in connec.
ton with its high cost Isl so per pound },
has prevented this tobacco from being
generally used. The select few who
know the charm Of Calhoun can be sup
piled by Levi j. Gazan, under Pulaski
house.-Adu.

MANY KEoKLEss DRIVERS.
Fast Driving That Endangers the Lives
OF Pedestriana

OF Pedestrians
Every evening about O'Clock long
line Of cotton drays moving rapidly turns
from Bay street into Bull, and at the next
corner swings around into Bryan street at
fast trot. II frequently happens that
ladies and children barely escape being
run over. Last evening a little child
walking east on Bryan street had very
narrow escape.
1t is quite likely that many of the drl-
yers do not know that they are liable to
arrest for driving SO fast around corners
and through narrow streets. There Is an
ordinance, however which provides that
the drivers or owners Of carts. drays or
wagons so driven around corners
and through narrow streets, shall. on con-
victiOn be fined not more than 500, or be
imprisoned not more than thirteen days.
The ordinance says:
IL shall not be lawful for any person or per-
sons TO ride on horseback in the city faster
than a slow cantcr. nor for any cOachman or
other person driving q coach or other car
rage to proceed faster than a slow trot, nor
for any person driving loaded cart, wagon,
dray or other carriage used for the trans
portation OF any article OF produce,
wares or merchandise, to proceed In
pace beyond a walk Except bread
carts, which may be driven at moderate
trOt), but all uulOaded carts. drays.or wagons
may be driven in a moderate trot IN all wide
streets: Provided, nevertheless, that the
drivers thereof shall not be allowed to turn
corners, or proceed through narrow streets.
or on Wharves, in any other than in a walk;
ana any person violating any of the prOvis-
ions OF this section, or the owner or owners
Of suoh vehicle, shall, on conviction, be fined
sum not exceeding SO0, or 10 days inn
prisOnment.
IL shall not be lawful for vehicles to be
driven so near each other as that there shall
not be opening Sufficient between for the free
passage OF persons crossing the streets. For
violation of THIS section, fine not exceeding $50.
or imprisonment not eNeeeding 10 daVs.

DANCING ZOE CHARITY.
The st. JOseph's Infrmary Ball a Bril-
liant Success.

When the grand march was led on at
the st. Joseph's lnfirmary ball at Masonic
Temple last night it was clear that the
committee Of arrangements had done It's
duty. From the first note Of the grand
march until the last sound of the good
night waltz, long after O'Clock this morn
ing, there was a continual round Of gayety
and pleasure.
Carriages began arriving at O'Clock,
and dancing began soon after. The hall
was filed, and many ladies sat in the gal
lery during the entire evening because the
floor was so crowded that
there was no chance to dance.
While the building was crowded, the
number present, the chairman OF the COM
mittee said, did not represent one-third or
the tickets sold. Upwards Of 500 people
were in attendance, and the affair proved
both socially and financially great sue
cess.
The stage was set as a street scene. In
the foreground was the orchestra, and IN
the background ice cream tables were IN
charge Of the ladies' of the committee.
The walls and stage were without any
decoration. Eyerybody was there. Some
people who said NO TO the committee
when asked to buy tickets changed their
minds atterward and concluded TO
go, us and people who intend
ed TO 20 anyhow took their
friends along to make things soclable.
The music was furnished by Gecks' Or
cheFtFs4Japd by the Union Cornet and
theEuards' bands. Il. yrfr

The scene on the dancing floor was brill
liant in the extreme. While it was not
intended that the ball should be a full
dress affair, yet many appeared in full
evening costume. Pink and white pre-
dominated among the younger ladies'.
Those present were nearly all from Savan-
nah. Very few out-Of-tOwn people were
in attendance. The General Committee,
OF which Capt. Henry Blum was chair
man, bad every arrangement complete.
Capt. Blum was among the most graceful
figures on the dancing floor. NJ. A.
OByrne, Esq., was chairman of the
Dancing Committee. EX-Alderman An
drew Hanley was chairman of
the Reception Committee. Mr.. John d.
Robinson was chairman Of the Hall Com
mittee, and Mr.. William +. Reid OF the
Supper Committee. The members of the
various committees were designated by
white silk badges.
The supper was served in the
supper room above the dancing
nall and was an elegant affair.
Every arrangement was perfect, and moth
ing was left undOne that could have con-
tributed more to the success of the ball.
The receipts were moi figured up last
night, but it is safe 10 say that hand
some sum was realized for the benefit OF
the charity in aid of which the ball was
given.

In Skillful Hands.

Much has been said and written as
to the usefulness of alcohol in the
practice of medicine, and the doctors,
as in all cases disagree as to the ad-
vantages gained by its use. Some
prefer the common whisky. But
there is considerable danger in the use
of mercury and potash. These strong
mineral poisons, in the hands of a
skilful physician, may be made to
serve good purpose. We want it
understood that we make no war on
the regular physician. The danger in
the use Of these mineral poisons is
when they are compounded by igno-
ramuses into nostrums as general
"cure-alls." The fearful results of
these nostrums are apparent to the
observer on every thoroughfare. We
see mems faces giving evidence of
excruciating pain, we note the haltlng
step and the unwieldy crutch, we
hear of sore throats and loose teeth, of
disordered stomachs and loss of appe,
tite, the emaciated form and sunken
eyes, all telling of murdered constitu-
tons by indiscriminate use OF these
strong poisons. It is fortunate that a
specific has been discovered to coun-
teract these evil consequences, and
bring back life and health and happi-
ness TO the unfortunate victims.
Swift's Specific is that boon to hu-
manity.

4 Fighting Editor.

The champion fighting editor Of the
country lives at Albuquerque, New
Mexico.
AS the story goes, eleven citizens of
the variety known as ''toushs," came
to the conclusion a short time ago,
that it was their duty in the interest
Of law and order, and the purity of
the ballot box, to take the editor out
and hang him.
Now, our Albuquerque journalist
lived alone in a leg cabin consisting of
a single room with cellar underneath.
His only companion, a pet grizzly
bear, occupied the cellar. On the
night when the editor had good rea-
sons to expect a visit from the refor-
mers, he retired, leaving the upper
room to the grizzly.
At the hour of midnight eleven stall
wart men arrived with a rope. They
had no light, but they rushed against
their man as they supposed. For an
editor he showed unusual pluck and
strength. He went for the lynchers
with such activity that the fight was
over in FIVE minutes.
In the gray of early moning three
men turned up in Albuquerque, each
with an eye missing. One man called
at the doctar's Office with one foot and
three fingers cbewed of. The remain
ing seven reformers were loafng
around on the streets more or less
mutilated.
When the alleged cause of the fracas
got out the editor became the most
popular man in the territory. His pa
per is doing a booming business and he
can get any Office he wants. He keeps
the grizzly in the cellar ready for an

Fathers?
FOREST FIREs.-The entire wooded
portion of our County seems to have
been enveloped in whirlpool of fire
for the past few days; and, while we
have heard as yet, no definite reports,
the disaster is, no doubt, great. AIr.
J. F. Cutter lost his stable and barn,
and Mr.. Henry Minis was heavy
loser in provisions etc, while many
others, critically situated. The ex-
treme violence Of the wind, urging on
the devouring flames, have wrought
wholesale destruction to fences, and
destroyed many fine forests. One
gentleman has reported to us, who
came into town, that, on his way, he
saw hundreds of acres of pine trees
burnt, to the top; and greater the ca
lamity when we consider that they
will not put out again, as is said to be
the case when burnt in the month of
March. The timber question is fast
becoming one worthy Of deep consid-
Grafton to our people, and our forests
should be protected with great care:
Not only is it a point to be viewed
from the market value abroad, and
uses to which the lumber is applied at
home, but the effect, as has been
well established by long observation,
is very great upon the health, the rain
fall and the vital prosperity of the
County. These fires are very often
the result of criminal carelessness--
sometimes intentional devastation.
From the one or the other, in adequate
measures should be meted out full
punishment to all offenders.
Since writing the above, other re-
ports followed fast, and in no way
abating the extent of the damage
but giving information that many 9th
er sections have suffered heavily. MIR.
J. B. Andrews has been a heavy loser
in having his entire pasture fence des-
troyed, and every other on the place;
also, much harm resulting to Messrs.
Ihigpen, Broadway and others on
Sammy Swamp; and Alr. Samuel VIII
l;ams, near the town of Manning, who
is short by similar accident, large
lot of fodder and 200 bushels of cot
ton seed. It will be poor consolation
for these gentlemen to know that they
have many fellow sufferers all over the
State, vet such is the case. This fire.
iend has surely been indulging in a
fierce revel everywhere.
Mr.. John E. Scott, of Williamsburg,
father of our esteemed townsman, J.
E. Scott, Esq, lost his handsome res
idence together with the outbuildings
on his place, and a large quantity OF
provisions. The Presbyterian par
sonage near Kingtree was destroyed,
with the furniture of the pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Smith.
