days thereafter was I permitted to
enjoy the whisperings Of my con-
science, We'll done, thou good and
faithful servant, when they began
TO come one by one with the report
Of a horse gone, strayed or stolen, or
stabbed by neighbor, or cut to pie

gled with lariat and stake pin, and
not much longer wasit, in the midst
Of these distresses, when 1 found
them on the sunny side of a hill of

ces."
This prejudiced Mr.. Osborne
against the Indians. He lost his
romantic idea Of their lives and sur
roundings. As to this he says:
"The general condition and habits
Of these Indians are not at this time
enviable, and | may be permitted
to express a fear that they are retro
grading sadly, as from report Of
them in 1882, | noticed that they
were energetic and cleanly; that
they were found not infrequently
eating their meals in family circles,
around neatly spread tables; that
comfortable homes were found on
every allotment; that the songof the
husbandman was heard in the land,
etc. pledge you my most sacred
word and honor, that at times all Of
them are lazy, that four-fitths Of
them are filthy, that they donot eat
i'm family circles, upon neatly spread
tables, nor upon tables at all; that
there are not exceeding Il dozen who
can shelter IA horse, and no song
save that of the dance is heard
among them. May the good Lord
have mercy upon these poor retro
grading Indians, or upon the agent
who made the report in 1882, which
ever may demand it most, is my
prayer

WHAT MAKES GOOD NURSES.
The Qualifications that Fit Them for
Successful Work.

How are the Savannah nurses getting
on in Jacksonvillef' a MORNING NEWS re-
porter asked DR.. Duncan last night.
II have heard no unfavorable reports"
replied the doctor He then added that
when DR.. Mitchell made a requisition upon
him for nurses, he sent only those of known
intelligence who are accliulated. and who
have themselves passed through all epi-
dernlc and would not contract the fever.
DIR, Duncan does not think that expert
nurses are always the bost; that it is not
best to have nurses who think they know
too much, but intelligent persons who,
while they may know what simple remedies
to apply at first, such as orange leaf tea
and mustard toot bath, will, as soon as
physician is called in, allow him prescribe
for the patient, the nurse being valuable in
pr portion to the ability of intelligently
following out the physicians directions.
DR. Duncan was asked If any further
requ-itions had been made upon him for
nurses. and he replied that DR.. Mitchell
wanted him to send twenty more whom he
could recommend. These, DIR. Dun
can said, he has been unable to find, al
though he has had many applications of
those who may have nursed one case, but
the applicants are i'll the main ignorant
and are such as he cannot conscientiously
recommend. I1e thinks that there are
plenty such already at jacksonville.
On being asked if he remembered Judge
w. NJ Olin, the Augusta septuagenarian
who was here in the epidemic of 1876, and
who has gone to Jacksonville. DR.. Duncan
said that he remembered the Old gray
bearded humanitarian well. 81 thought
he was dead. He was with me in Memphis
during the epidemic there and went with
me to Tuscumba. He is a good old SOUL
and does great deal of good. 1t is a mis-
take to call him a nurse What he does is
to hunt around and find those who have
not proper attention, medical or otherwise,
or who have been entirely overlooked, and
he has a knack of finding them. When
found, he tells them what to do, if they have
had no physician, and then he goes off and
gets physician, or il n nurse is required he
has n nurse sent to them. II family need
supplies Judge Olin will find it out and have
it reported, and the want relieved. | do not
think he asks any pay for his services. He
is no mercenary. Possibly his expenses are
paid, and l think he often gets money which
he distributes among those he thinks ara
the most needy. He is very old man, and
his long white beard gives him very
venerable appearance. He has had the
fever, and knowing that he will not take il,
he goes everywhere during an epidemic and
has nose for finding suffering where
others do not find it, and he is as indus
trious in having it alleviated as he is in
finding it
Judge Olin has been in nearly all of
the epidemics in the south since 1889, and
his method has been the same in all-that
of seeking out and alleviating suffering,
consoling the sick, visiting them often to
see that they are not neglected, and Co
operating in many ways with ph ysicians
and relief committees.

Cotton Coming in Lively on the Sa-

vance, which arrived yesterday afternoon
from Augusta. '"The water is still on the

banks up the river, and the twenty-six feet
rise will not amount to much"

bales of cotton, principally compress cotton
from Augusta, although she had some
bales of way cotton. The Ethel arrived
Yesterday from Cohen's Bluff with about
80 bales, and her wharf sheds, with their
heavy bales of cotton, looked business like
One of the officers of the Advance says
that there has been great activity ia the
cotton patches since the fine weather set in,
md that the receiptswill continue right along
now if unfavorable weather does not come.
The staple brought down yesterday was not
discolored, and it looked as if il had been
picked before the rains. The greater part
Of it is covered with new jute bagging,
although some Of the compress cotton has
secondhand bngging for covers
The present week will he, 1t is predicted,
a very busy one among cotton men, as the
receipts, both by rail and river, are ex-
pected TO be very large. Three steamers
are in quarantine, waiting to come np for
cargoes, and four sailing vessels are under

WITH A BAG FULL OF CANDY.
Officer Morgan Gives a Young Thief
Lively Chase.


Yesterday morning about 80 o'clock
Officer II. NJ. Morgan, who was standing at
Congress and Lincoln streets, saw very
suspicious act, and, ccncealing himself be-
hind tree, awaited developments. A negro
peeped out from Congress street lane and
Lincoln street, lodged back, peeped out
again, and apparently thinking the coast
clear emerged from the lane with heavy
sack thrown across his shoulders, and walk
ing rapidly crossed to Broughton street.
The officer hurried down Congress street
lane, thence to Habersham, where he ex-
pected he might cut the negro off, but see-
ing no sign of his man he ran down to
Broughton street, where he discovered the
negro at No. 81 Broughton street, at the
door of Charles V. Brown, a colored shoe
maker, who keeps a confectionery store in
his cobbler's shop. The negro was knocking
on Browns door, and had put the bag on
the step.
As the officer walked west on Broughton
street the negro, whose knock had not been
Immediately answered, concluded it was
best not to wait, and taking his hat in his
hand ran like a quarter horse, leaving the
bag behind. When the officer got in front
of Browns door, Brown was in the act of
opening it. When confronted with bag
containing about seventy five pounds of
candy left by the thief ON his step, he dis
avowed any knowledge of whence it came
or by whom it had been left
Officer Morgan took the candy to the bar
racks, and later it was identified by Theo-
dore Raderck of 92 Bull street, whose con-
fectionery store was broken into early in
the morning. Officer Morgan charge
Brown with knowing about the transaction.
The officer says that it has not been Il great
while since Brown opened very small con-
fectionory store, the stock of which has in
creased very rapidly. The thief escaped
but the officer thinks he can recognize him,
and a close watch out will be kept for him
He is very likely to be the same fellow who
went through Cleveland's drug store some

ing in that neighboraood.

SUNDAY AT THE BEACH.
Gathering Shells After the Storm How
the Oyster Roast was Enjoyed.


Yesterday was pleasant day at Tybee,
and between 200 and 800 people enjoyed the
free oyster roast on the island. During the
forenoon heavy sea was on, and it was
great sight northeaster was blowing
and the surf thundered on the beach, and
as far out as the eye could reach the white
crested waves lifted up and almost seemed
to touch the horizon where sea aud sky APP
peared TO blend.
Later in the afternoon, when the tide
was ont and the ocean was calmer, the
beach was industriously searched by young
and old for shells, many rare ones being
found The air was pleasant and the day
enjoyable
The ride down commanded fine view of
the swollen waters of the freshet d:s-
charging into the sea The track has not
been injured i'll the least by the storms or
food. Bermuda grass seed, which was
sown along the track, has grown and
spread so rapidly, that in some places 1t
looks like lawn, and there is an absence OF
dust and sand, which is so disagreeable on
many roads vigorous hedge Of sea
myrtle, a pretty evergreen, grows on the
north side of the track for miles, whose
deep roots and close foliage are great
protection in times of extreme high water.
Among the passengers yesterday were
y
n confederate cavalry officer in command
of the cavalry forces in this section during
the war, and Capt. PoStell, receiver of the
East and West railway of Alabama. Capt.
Postel is the engineer who located the
Tybee railway. He says that Tybee is the
only place where he can find relief from hay
fever, and he thinks that this time of the
year is the best season to spend on the
island
Supt. Collins looked after the accommo-
dation of the visitors to the island. Some
large iron doors were improYised as an
oven, which were placed oil brick columns,
and fire of light pine was started under the
iron. Gunny bags full of fine oy +ters were
then emptled on the DOORS and soon the
appetizing odor Of the roasted bivalves told
that treat was near at hand The chill
dren enjoyed the Toast, and happier group
was never seen than they composed
A good joke is told at Capt. Postel's ex-
pense. The captain is very fond of fishing,
his favorte fishing place being Oh the
ping under the bridge over Lazaretto
creek, where, with rod and reel, he is a
veritable lsaak Walton. The freshet has
driven the salt water and salt water fish
out to sea, SO that the fish have not been
biting for a week, but on the captains last
trip to Tybee he caught some very fine fish,
among which was founder, his beau ideal
Of an esculent dish. When he came to
inquire for his founder at table, his wife
artlessly replied that she had given the col
ored woman the fat fish for cleaning the
others, thinking she had made n splendid
bargain, as she was not favorably impressed
with the looks of the founder.
