ATTACKED BY ROUGHS.
A Place Where the Police Are Greatly
Needed

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 25.-Editor Morn
ing Ne,oS: Perhaps it is not generally
known that it is not safe for people to walk
the streets in the neighborhood of the ga.
works, but suca is the case. Officers and
seamen are afraid to 60 down to their ships
alone for fear of being moles;ed. Now
is it not a shame that such
should be the caseg An instance which
occurred to-day: A couple of sailors were
on their way to their ship about $3.50 O'Clock
last evening when they were attacked by
some unknown rouch s with rocks and had
to run for their lives. They we're struck by
some Of the missiles. Now these men were
sober and quietly attending to their business.
They are visitors to our shores and should
be protected. This is one of the few cases
in the last few days Now we have a law
forbiddiug man TO carry weapon. Is
this the way to encourage q man to keep
the laws Perhaps yon can give some sug-
gestioas looking to remedy, which, il APP
piled, may prove blessing to those whom
providence has placed in our midst.

The Duchesse de Galliera, who died on
Sunday night at her historical mansion in
the Faubourg St. German, was as large
hearted and as open-handed as the late
Mime. Boucicault, though perhaps less judi
cious in the use she made Of one of the
largest fortunes of this age. The late Duke
of Galliera was one of the Continental rail-
way kings. and keen an venturesome
Spectator. He died leaving personally in
France alone amounting to eli 900, 600 and
in Italy over g3,000,000. The Uniuers
gives the following list Of her well-known
deeds of generosity: g400 a year to the
poor of the Seventh ACCOMPLISHMENT, $500
year to the poor OF all Paris, $3.50 year
to the poor of her own parish, for the Brig
nole-Galliera museum, near the Trocadero,
e250, 900; for the creation Of an orphan
age at Meudon, g5G0000 for the sup
port Of that institution, e400 900; for the
building of three working-class lodging
houses in Paris, $4,000. To deepen the
port of Genoa she gave G340, 900, to the
present pope 9l00,00O, to build two hospi-
tails 93S0,000. Besides the above donations
she gave Geuoa the palace called the Pa
lazzo Rosa, with its art furniture and
pictures, comprising n collection of auces-
trail portraits by Rubens and Vaudyke.
The gift OF palace and estate at Bologna
to the Due de Montpensier can hardly be
called charity. Her last great benefac-
tons were the founding OF two nsylums,
one for 200 old men and 100 old women, and
another for Christian Brothers too old or
