But whether the brooks be fringed with flow.

But whether the brooks be fringed with flow.
 CTS, Or whether the dead leaves fall, And whether the air be full of songs Or never a song at all, And whether the vines of the strawberries, Or frosts through the grasses run, And whether it rain whether it shine Is all to me as one; For bright as brightest sunshine The light of memory streams Round the old fashioned homestead, Where dreamed my dream of dreams.

THE OLD GEM L Terry.
A Place to Put the Iron Railing Now
in Johnson Square.

in Johnson Square.
Editor Morning NetOs.: Approaching
the suggestions made by you few days ago
regarding the useless expenditure of public
money for the care and preservation of the
cumbersome and very often unsightly rail
ings around our squares, l heartily agree
with you in the idea Of substituting therefor
permanent low brick walls with stone curb
ings Our Northern visitors are always
struck with surprise at the extraordinary
care evinced by cur city authorities in pro
tecting and hiding from view those little
grass plots by fences costly to maintan, and
n resident of Savannah visiting tie North
or East is impressed with the practical
economy of those people, who have long
since ceased to indulge in the useless luxury
of expensive fences for private or public
grounds. The square ratings must GO
AT the election held ON Jan. Z a decided
majority of those voting gave emphatic ex-
preston to the wish that the municipal au-
tholites shall take charge and control of
the Old cemetery and shall restore and keep
in good condition the vaults, tOmbs and
grave-stones still remaining therein Il
quote the language of the law Permit
me, then. TO suggest that the Mayor and
Aldermen signaliZe their intention of speed
lily complying with the wishes of the people,
so clearly expressed in this election, by at
once demoshing two OF the unsightly brick
walls Of the Old cemetery and substituting
therefor tie handsome iron ratings now en-
closing johnson square, and that the pres
ent line OF said cemetery be preserved on
Abercorn street, as the law does not author
ize any change therein, but that the wall on
South Broad street be advanced to the
inner line Of the present pavement.
A movement of this character will in a
great measure soften the antagOnism of
those who voted against and satisfy the
WISHES of those who favored the improve
mentS and changes as contemplated by the
new law. MODOC JACK.

The Ouintette Club Concerts.

"The HENDERSON, Quintette Club concert
at the Theatre last night has, with few ex-
ceptions probably, never been excelled by
any musical entertainment given in Savan-
nah. There was not a vacant seat in the
Theatre below the galleries. The audience
in numbers and III point of brilliancy and
elegance of toilette would have claimed Su-
periOrity anywhere. Aside from beng the
most brilliant, it was as thoroughly an APP
preciative audience rs any that the Men
delssohns have appeared before i'll the South.
The programme was magniticently rem
dered-all of the concerted numbers were
marked by precision aud evennesS that left
nothing to be desired. a column of criticism
may be summed up in the single statement
that every member of the club is a solo
artist. The concert was a gratifying sue
cess, much of which is due to the local man
agement, to whom the music public is deeply
indebted This is what the MORNING
NEWS said about the Memberships last
year.
The reserved seat diagram for the con-
certs to take place Saturday will be opened
again on Thursday morning for those who
have not yet secured seats.
Al the request OF a number of the leading
colored people of the city their circle has
also been reserved for them, and tickets can
be had at Davis Bros at 50c each. This
plan will insure the attendance of only those
who appreciate good music and who under
stand the perfect order that is necessary tor
an entertainment of this kind.

THE Wick AT THE THEATRE.
The Sale of Seats for the Booth-Barrett
Engagement morrow.


The theatrical event of the season in
Savannah will be the appearance Of Edwin
Booth and Lawrence Barrett in "Othello"
on Wednesday night. The auction sale OF
seats will take place at Davis Bros at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning The prices OF
admission are fixed by the combination at
"a, 81 80 and 81. Reserved seats in the
orchestra chairs, dress circle and
balcony 81, The rest of the
house will be sold at S. 80 and 81 without
reservation. The sale OF seats at auction IS
without precedent here, but it is the Gus
tom in many Northern and Western cities.
In Richmond the seats for the performance
there tomorrow night were sold the same
way that they Will be sold here. The com
bination comes high, and those who see it
will have TO pay for the privilege. The
auction sale has no reference to the
fixed prices Of admission, but Is
merely for the choice Of seats. Manager
johnson settled upon this plan as the best
and fairest way of conducting the sale, Civ
ing everyone an equal opportunity TO secure
n choice of location and, in a measure,
shutting out speculation. In Richmond the
first choice of orchestra chairs sold at 50,
and this entitled the bidder TO select but
two seats, making the bonus for the two $40
besides the regular price of admission.
The first choice of boxes sold for S35 aud
the fixed price was $50 making the total
cost Of admission and box $50 The fixed
price of boxes here TO admit five is 80.
The sale i'm Richmond was altogether salts
factory, and the sale here being conducted
on the same plan will hardly fail 70 be
equally as satisfactory as that in Richmond.
The figures of the Kew York engagement
OF the combination which closed
at the Academy of Music on the 9TH
show what New Workers had TO pay to see
the great tragedians That engagement
was the greatest financial success ever at
tanned 10y any dramatic stars. The receipts
for the two weeks were $50 l07. The last
days receipts matinee and night footed up
over $4,000. When it is considered that
the Academy of Music has the largest seat
ing capacity of any American theatre, an
idea of the enormous attendance can be had
by the fact that at nearly every perform
anCe the entire seating capacity, from PIT
TO dome was taken before O'Clock. The
orchestra was forced TO play from the stage
and the Police Commissioners threatened to
indict the management of the building if
the sale of standing admissions was not
stopped
There is nothing that need be said
to Savannah theatre-goers Of either OF
the stars. The combination has been
heralded TO the dramatic world and its
success everywhere has been unprece-
denied Added TO all else is the fact that
one of Savannah's young actors, Mr. Law
renee Hanlev, is with the combination and
is achieving success. Mr. Hanleys perfor-
maucos have been faVorably noticed 10y the
leading dramatic critics of New York and
Philadelphia. In Othello he plays the part
of "Lodovicon Mr.. Booth appears as
"Iago," and Mr.. Barrett as "Othello."

FIGHT OVER A CHURCH SITE.
The Gift of Fanny Kemble's Daughter
to a Darien Congregation Contested

The Gift of Fanny Kemble's Daughter
to Darien Congregation Contested.
A musty old land case is drawing its slow
length along in the United States Circuit
Court. 1t is an ejectment case in which the
heirs Of Achilles DeLorme are endeavoring
TO gain possession of tract OF land IN
Daren, which is now held by congrega-
ton of colored Episcopalians and upon
which has been erected for their use a neat
lit chapel.
The land, which is small in area and of
little value for Til liable purposes, was gwen
by Pierce Butler, in his day wealthy
planter, 10 a few of his former slaves for
the purpose Of erecting place OF worship.
Butler owned great many slaves and II IS
said Of him that he gave as many OF tnen
as were 50 inclined educational advantages,
and that quite a number of them became
COMMITMENTS Of the Episcopal church
In time Butler married Fannie kemhie
the famous English actress and authoress.
Their subsequent separation was attributed
70 many causes, but the most generally ac-
cepted cause was Mrs PiercaS objection
10 the holding of slaves. At the separation,
Sarah one Of two daughters, stood by her
mother and removed 10 the North where
she married wealthy Phlladelphlan named
WiSler The other daughter Frances, re-
mained with her father, and in after years
married Rev. NJ Leigh, son of Lord Leigh,
Of bennington, Eng.
The negroes to whom Mr.. Butler had
given the lots of land desired to build a
church, and TO that end petitioned the
daughters of their former master to aid
them Mrs Leigh took the matter in hand,
and from her own purse and contributions
was soon able to give the desired building.
Hon. l.. E. b. DeIorme, executor of A.
A. DeLorme, now claims the land on the
strength of A. A. DeLOrme having
bought it at tax sale before
the deed to the colored congregation was
made While the amount Of money in
volved in the suit is small, yet the partici-
pants are sturdy in their fight and every
inch of the ground is contested by both
sides. A large number Of witnesses have
been and are yet TO be examined, and the
case is likely TO consume several days.
