of 65 and upward to be freed without COM
pensation to their masters. All slaves be-
tween 60 and 65 were to remain with their
masters, who must feed and clothe them,
and work them lightly, unless they were
found by the Orphans Court to be able to
support themselves. Under this plan
Prime Minister Saraiya estimated that
slavery would become extinct in 1896.
The measure became a law September %,
1885, or exactly IA years to day after the
passage of the first anti-slavery Act, and
by September, 1885, $1,000 blacks of 60
years of age had been enrolled free. With
the death total added, the estimate was
that the slaves in the Empire were
less than 100000 in number. In 1886
bill was projected in the Senate for
the unconditional abolition of all slavery
at the expiration of five years, but was re-
ported upon adversely.
We will not probably for some days be
able to ascertain intelligently the exact
features of the bill now reported as pass
ing the Senate and the Chamber, but in
the light of all the legislation previously
had it is probable that it is so near to
actual and immediate emancipation that
the last days Of slavery in Brazil may be
said to have dawned. 1t is to be noted
that Brazil frees her remaining million
of slaves without striking blow, avoid
ing civil war and revolt, and cleanses
herself of the dark stain without the loss
of a single life in political agitation. Ii
is an event, or rather the elimination of a
series of progressive events, that will take
place in the chronology of the world a:
among its most important indications o.
the unchecked advancement of the civil
lied nations of the earth and the enlarge
ment of the humane sentiments of en-
lightened people.

THE FRUIT OUTLOOK.
A. 4. Hatch Says the Cherry and Aprico
Cron L. Poor.

The cherry crop is very slight" said A
7. Hatch to Post reporter yesterday, very
slight, indeed l have heard loud com.
plants from all parts of the country about
the cherry crop. The other day l was
speaking to Handy and Judge Myrick, Of
Santa Clara, and they both have told me
that their crops were very poor. was on
the Sacramento river the other day, and
saw that the trees had hardly any fruit, ex-
cept some of the common variety, which
no one cares whether it bears any fruit OF
not"
How is the fruit outlook ?''
otherwise the fruit outlook isvery good
! must make one exception, however; the
apricot is very light. l hear that it will
be from one-half to one-third of the usual
crop. Not the crop that we had last year;
that was very large crop. No, l can give
no reason for the smallness of the cherry
crop. The foreman Of my ranch attributes
it to the few days of hot weather that we
had just when the fruit was forming.
Others attribute it to the rain. l was con-
siderably amused, though, to read that the
smallness of the cherry crop was attributed
to the ravages of the Goblin moth. The
Goblin moth does not attack cherries; it
only attacks the pear, the apple and the
ounce

THE dispatches this morning announce
that the charge is made that $4,000 more
votes were counted in the recent Louisiana
election than there are voters in that State.
1t is added that the revelation has been
brought to the attention of United States
Senators, and that yesterday a caucus of
the Republican side had the charges under
consideration. There is certainly some fire
where there is so much smoke, for it is
fact not denied that certain parishes that
pretty evenly divided on the Presidential
election of 1884, when the colored vote
was given freedom, in this case went solidly
Democratic. 1t is wholly improbable the
latter result could have been attained
honestly. Not many days prior to the
election the Democratic Governor declared
that his party must win if he had to
suspend the law" whatever he may have
meant by that Another leader made no
concealment of the purposes of the party,
and boldly declared that no black man
would be permitted to vote unles he voted

true, to justify searching inquiry into the

Some Cnrious and Interesting
Facts About the Beautiful
Planet.

The San Francisco Bulletin of last night,
in speaking of the planet Jupiter, SO con.
spicuous in the evening sky of late, says.
Appearing in the southeastern heavens
but short time after sunset, this noble
planet has for the last few weeks been WIS.,
ible nearly the whole night
Its minus declination or distance south of
the celestial equator is quite large; so that
the planet does not reach much of an alti-
tude, even at the highest part of its arc, at
transit across the meridian, at which time
the altitude above the southern horizon is
only 800; and at such a low elevation an
extraordinary clear night is needed to give
any sort of good telescope view, for then
the atmospheric disturbance is at a
maximum, and the telescope image is
always more or less blurred. But the
giant planet Jupiter, with its ever-changing
c-oud- belts, and its ever-restless retinue of
satellites, is always pleasing object. and
1t takes very wretched atmosphere in
deed to deprive the view of all interest for
the spectator.

JUGS BY THE THOUSAND.
Business that Pays the Potteries
Well

Mr.. J. H. Stevens, one of the proprietors
of Stevens pottery, was in the city Satur-
day soliciting orders for jugs. This is q
new feature which will be added to the pot
terry next year. The pottery has heretofore
made only sewer pipe brick and flower
pots, but within the past couple Of years
there have been SO many orders for Jugs
that the proprietors decided to begin the
manufacture of jugs in addition to their
other business.
1--WE will sell 100000 jugs in Savannah
every year. Mr.. Stevens said. land nearly
as many more in the other cities in the
state. The demand for jugs within the past
two or three years has been greater than ]
have ever known, and we expect TO ex-
perience difficulty in supplying our
territory when it begins to look to us
for jugs. We have in our employ already
about 100 men. but our force will be Target,
il creased when we begin the manufacture
of jugs"
ITO what do you attribute the great de-
mand for jugs!"
THAT is hard to tell We scarcely noticed
the demand for them before so many of the
small towns began to ''go dry" The demand
is principally by the liquor dealers in the
cities, You see they use jugs instead of
bottles in shipping whisky to a dry town,
and every town that prohibits the sale Of
whisky; increases the demand for jugs. |
think prohibition will be the life OF tho jug
business

BMMEr's PORTRAIT UNVEILED.

Irish Nationalist Bubble with En-
thusiasm before the Patriots Picture.
The Irish nationalists of Savannah made
yesterday memorable one to them. The
Robert Emmett Association made the occa-
sion of the unveiling of handsome por-
trait of Robert Emmett, presented to the
association by citizen of Augusta, a very
happy one. Among the visitors were Mr..
John F. Armstrong, the member from
Georgia on the executive committee of the
Irish National League of America, M. E.
McCauley and NJ j. Sullivan of Augusta
A large number Of leading and representa-
tive sh-Americans of this city was present.
Theunveiling speech was made by Mr.. P.
j. O'Connor, and it was considered to be the
greatest effort Of his life. 1t was brilliant,
eloquent and mastery address, and evoked
the heartiest enthusiasm.
Addresses appropriate to the occasion
were also made by Messrs. Armstrong, j
F. Crohan, f. X. Douglass, w. F. Reid, n. J.
DOYLE, James Ward, John r. Dillon, P. Fl.
Genron, Martin Cooley, James McGrath,
Luke Carson, Andrew Hanley and Others
The unwilling was over in time for the
visitors to catch the 500 p. M, Central
train. They were highly delighted with
their reception and entertainment.
The Robert Emmett Association, which at
present is the largest in influence and num-
bars among the Irish Americans of this city,
is organized for the purpose of perpetuating
the memory and principles of the noble
Emmett, and of advancing and elevatiug
the'cause of the Irish people. While true and
loyal citizens Of this country, they still re-
member the land of their forefathers, and
are ready to adopt all legitimate means to
place Ireland in the sisterhood Of nations.

THE MAGISTERIAL RACE.
The Contests Among the Candidates
for Justice of the Peace.

lOI QSLlS0 "a Uklb E6dCCs
in the campaign for county offices, and
city offices, the race for magistrates is
not altogether lost sight of. In the First
district there are three white candidates,
Folliard, Pollard and McDermott. with a
possible white vote of 500 and a colored
vote of 200 While there has been no
republican nomination, it is understood that
there is possibility of a colored candidate,
who thinks that he may pull through by
the solid colored vote, which may outnum-
Ter the vote of either of the white candi-
dates, 1t has been rumored that one of the
white candidates may withdraw before the
day of the election.
There was talk of running a colored can
didate in the Second district on account of
the active part taken by Justice Sheftall at
the Drayton street box on the day of the
November election to prevent illegal col
ored voters from voting, but when the
| managers began to canvass the Second dis
trict and found that they had less than IS
registered votes out of All the idea of put
ting up a candidate was abandoned, and
Justice Sheftall has no opposition.
There is white majority of 600 or $50 in
the Third district and there is no likelihood
Of opposition to Justice Molina.
In the Fourth district there is a very
pretty fight going on between the colored
republicans Crane, the Wheaton street
ieweler, having been nominated by the
Harrison and Morton club, Col. Deveaux,
Matthews and the bosses called meeting
one night last week and nominated White
man, the South Broad street saloonkeeper.
There are about 265 colored voters in the
district. Sam Reynolds, the white candi-
date, relies on the $40 white votes in the
district to re-elect him. An effort will be
made to pull Crane off the track, when the
republican managers think that, owing to
apathy, the white votes will not come out,
and Whiteman will pull through. White
| man, it Is said, had some ambition to get a
federal plum, and his nomination is believed
| to be shrewd plan to shelve him. Col. De-
| veaux wants the postoffice, and Matthews
| wants to be United States marshal. and
neither of them want to be encountered
with too many applicants for subordinate
positions.

The charter for the Southern Travellers
Association, organized at Augusta the first
of the month, is being prepared, and
an effort will be made to get it
through the legislature before the session
closes. The charter is worded SO as to in
clude as many of the southern states as wish
to Join the association, and circulars have
been sent out over the country by the Sa-
vannah post announcing that fact. The
new organization is meeting with favor
and quite number from different states
have signified their intention OF joining.
AS the initiative move was made by Sa
yannah men toward forming the new asso-
citation, the headquarters will be here. The
management will be similar to that of the
Northwest Travellers Association, whose
headquarters are at st. Louis, and the
Travellers Protective Association, whose
headquarters are at Chicago
"The membership has already begun to in
crease" Secretary Max Robinsonsays, land
by the time tho association is thoroughly in
operation the membership will be double
what it now is. The association will fit up
elegant rooms in the near future and will
be open TO all commercial men from the
country who way come 20 Savannah,
and also for the travelling men from the
north and west who pass through the city.
What we want Is to make the com mercial
men-the men whom we come in contact
with most and the men with whom we are
in a large degree identified-feel at home
when they come to Savannah. This is
something that no other southern city has
sought to do"
The association has earnest workers at its
head, and they are pushing the organization
which will be one of no small moment when
il is fully under way.
