Eme Ellsler.

Elegance, refinement and intellectually
will undoubtedly meet at the Savannah
Theatre Friday evening to do homage to a
sweet little woman, whose artistic accom-
plishments have won her plaudits every
where; and whose charming character of
womanliness has gained for her the in
dorsenent of art lovers both in and out of
the theatre.
The audiences that assembled to greet
Ellie Ellsler wherever she appears, resemble
in character a drawing-room reception more
than theatre party. Miss Ellsler presents
Friday night and at the matinee Saturday,
''Woman Against Woman" This play is
generally conceded to be one of the most
powerful domestic stories of the current
stage. Its charms lies in its honesty and
simplicity The popular verdict of Miss
Ellsler's Bessie Barton is that it is quite
the best emotional work she has done
since her original creation Of Hazel
Kirke." She possesses magnetism and ex-
IRENE sensibility, but her chiefest charm
lies in her exquisite wOmanliness. Her
methods are all natural, and her great eff
fectS are produced by a nervous Italian
! metho3 that rarely fails her Saturday
evening Miss Ellsler appears in Camille. "

RAN INTO AT SEA.
The Steamer State of Texas Collides
with the Brig Maratona.

The steamship State of Texas collided
with the Austrian brig Maratona about five
miles south southwest Of Martins Industry
lightship Monday night. The steamer was
bound from Fernandnia to Port Royal and
the brig was from Porto Rico bound for
this port, with a pilot on board
The briggs lights were all up,
the night was clear and the steamer
could lie seen five or six miles off before the
collision occurred.
The wind was moderate from a southerly
direction, and the brig was standing in on
the port tack. She was struck on the star
board side, but was very little damaged.
Her port side was broken, her jibboom,
bowsprit, cobhead and a portion of her rail
were carried away When the cobhead
went, the anchor was also carried over
board, but il was afterward heaved up.
The steamer returned after the collision
and inquired about the damage to the brig
The tug Cynthia, which was on her return
from New York, hove in sight and the
captain of the steamer instructed the tug
captain to tow the brig into quarantine,
which she did, and the steamer resumed her
voyage. The extent of the damage to her,
if any, is not known.
The action OF the steamship Captain in
steering his vessel across the course Of the
briggs when there was plenty of seaway and
a clear night cannot be explained, and no
doubt an investigation will be had.

A New Envelope for Lovers.

From the Ne,c Orleans Times Democrat.
The very latest thing out in the way Of
stationery is an envelope of leather, which
can be locked and sent through the mails
without being tempered with by post office
clerks 1t will doubtless come into general
use as safe covering for lovers epistles.
The locked envelope is thus described: 1t
is of leather--alligator skin or morocco.
Upon the back of the envelope there is a tiny
staple of gold or silver over which fits
snugly link Of similar material attached
to the flap, and this is secured by a dainty lit
tie paddock with a Yale lock. Upon the face
is an open pocket for the insertion of a card
bearing the address and the necessary post
age stamp. Two tiny keys accompany each
envelope. Having furnished Phyllis with
one of these, Corydon may pour forth
his hearts tenderest devotion to her upon
paper, lock it up, and send it on its way, re-
joicing in the certainty that she only to
whom it is directed will be abe to scan its
sacred pages. That the envelope will sup
ply want long felt in the world of court
ship cannot be doubted.
