Farewell to 1887.

Farewell, Old Year, we ne'er shall meet,
Again on life's hi -hway,
Nor ever shall each other greet,
In passing day by day:
Yet memory to thine image clings,
And fain would bid thee stay,
Though each succeeding season brings
FrutiOn and decay.
Farewell, Old Year. with all thy joys,
Thy sorrows and thy cares,
Thy blessings, which no change alloys,
And time (relentless) spares;
Thy hopes, thy cOnsecrated grief,
Thy trumphs and thy fears,
The sympathy. which brought relief
To dry at1llction'S tears.
Farewell the future neer may bring
Another such as thou,
Nor vernal bloom, nor birds of Spring
Provoke the love which now,
Mid Winters dearth illumeS thy form,
When lips breathe last adieus,
And eyes are looking through the storm
Vainly for what we lose.
Wher'e'r thou art, oh vanished year,
Wher e'r thy spirit dwellS,
Surely, 1t is some precinct near
Where there are no farewells
Farewell. naught ever can efface
What thou to us hast given,
Nor aught enhance thy severed grace,
Until restored in Heaven.
EDWARD S. SHARPE.

The Morning News and Savannah.

In the IS years of its existence the MORN
ING News has had its ups and downs, -
but for a good many years il has had nearly
all ups 1t is not egotistical 10 affirm
that the MORNING News is one of the in
stitutions of Savannah, and has done its
full share toward making the city what it
is, and that it expects to have a
great deal to do with what
it is to he the future. 1t is
not only a newspaper, the reputation of
which is a credit to the city, but it is an inn
mense manufacturing establishment sup
porting, including those who are dependent
upon its employees, 40S people. Outside of
the railroads and cotton factories no other
establishment in the State probably has so
many persons dependent upon it. It's such
establishments as it is that build up cities.
They furnish employment to wage earn
ers, who distribute their money through all
the branches of retail business, and make
it possible for others to earn living.
The present year has opened well with the
MORNING News, and it hopes that it will
be more successful one than any
previous year of its existence. 1t proposes
TO use every endeavor TO increase its bust
ness. and ii asks it's friends to do all they
can TO help it make the year 1883 the best of
its thirty nine years Whatever helps the
MORNING NHwS helps Savannah, and what
ever helps Savannah is pretty certain 10
help the MORNING News.

From the Neu York Sun.


Mrs Cleveland proved the magic of her power
again this afternoon. 1t is a rule, strictly en-
forced, of the Boston symphony Orchestra
management that the doors shall be closed
against every one during the rendition of the
various numbers This rule has been adopted
TO prevent those who have reached their seats
in time from being disturbed by late arrivals
This afternoon when the performance began at
Albaugh's Opera House the doors We're shut
Mrs. Cleveland, who was mOmentary expected,
had not arrived. Admission was denied a mum.
Der of ladies and gentlemen who were little
behind time, and positive instructions were
given the doorkeeper not to allow even Mrs.
Cleveland TO enter. He protested that he would
obey his orders. The crowd waited with interest
to see what he would do. Presently Mrs. Ceve-
land came up the staircase looking unusually
pretty in rich black velvet costume She
glanced at the closed door, and smiled pleas
antly upon the doorkeeper. The charm of her
smile was irresistible, and the gate swung open
for her TO pass through. A moment later the
doorkeeper was family murmuring to the
manager: II couldn't help it, sir; indeed |
couldn't

Senator Calls War on Comptroller Dur
ham

From the PhiludelDhin Public Ledger
An important bill was introduced 10 the Sen
ate by Mr. Call, of Florida, authorizing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury TO overrule and reverse
the decisions of all inferior officers of the Treas
ury Department in respect to matters of &C
count and the expenditure of money. As it now
stands the Comptroller of the Treasury, a
subordinate officer, can override his superior,
the Secretary, at any time he chooses to do so,
and it is frequently done. 1t was only day or
two ago that l alluded TO the tact that the
Comptroller had overruled the Secretary of
War, and even the President himself, deciding
that they had no right to order an army officer
to Europe at government expense. The Comp
troler is an autocrat. If the Secretary of the
Treasury thinks proper to send man to New
York or Boston on public business he becomes re-
sponSible for the payment of his expenses until
the Comptroller mas passed his account. The
Comptroller may decide that il was not neces-
sary for such man to be sent and refuse to al
low the bills to be paid The Secretary of the
Treasury, or even the President, may direct the
expenditure of certain moneys appropriated by
Congress according to bis discretion IL the
Comptroller should believe that the discretion
has not been wisely exercised, he can prevent
the payment of the money. He can block the
wheels of the government at any time and there
is no appeal from his decisions. The President
may remove him from office and appoint sue
ceSsOr who viii reverse his decisions but there
is no other alternative, and the bill of Mr. Call
is to limit the Comptroller Of the Treasury and
make him subordinate in all things to his supe-
riOr officers

She Wouldn't Take Off Her Skin.
From the Pliladelp4ia Times

40 take off your skin my dear, or you will
catch cold, " said the hostess
"No, thank you. To tell the truth, since I've
grown so stout ! can't get out of my skin
easily" said her blonde visitor. The speakers
We're two English women in London morning
room. An American present listened to the re,
marks with rounded eyes. She remembered
Sydney Smiths old receipt for hot weather.
TO hear these ladies' talk of shedding their cpl
dermiS without Il smile was incomprehensible
Presently, when the blonde caller rose to de
part, the hostess said: Fancy you having had
wrinkles across the chest, it looks quite fresh -
patting, as she spoke, the rich fur of the seal
jacket her visitor wore. The mystery was ex.
planned. Skin is the English abbreviation for
a sealskin garment, but it takes an American
some time to get accustomed to the CHASTITY
allnsion the ahbrevation lends itselsto.

Mr.. Smith Now Understands Why His
Boarder Took His Butter"
From the Ne,c York IVor

r rom bte NctC OFh " OFtu.
''Can get board here, asked a genia-look-
ing man dressed in the garb of a laborer, of
John Smith, proprietor of the boarding house
at One Hundred and Fifty eighth street and
Tenth avenue, Nov. IS last. Smith willingly
accepted the man, and the latter sat down to
breakfast with twenty other boarders, who are
laborers working on the aqueduct. The new
bOarder was the last to leave the table. He
waited until he believed himself I'M
noticed when he took the butter off the
plate, and, wrapping it in piece of paper, left,
and never turned up at the boarding house
again. Smith worried over his disappearance,
but it was made clear to him month later
where he was summoned to the Harlem police
court where he recognized his quondam boarder
in the person of William R. Meter, an agent of
the State Dairy Commission. Smiths butter
turned out to be oleomargarine. Smith was
held for trial. 1t was on the calendar in the
Court Of Special Sessions yesterday before
Justices Smith, White and Kilbreth. Smith
pleaded guilty and was fined $50.

A NEW KIND OF TOAST.
A Mystif1ed Waiter Has Difficulty ir
Serving a Committee Clerk.


From the NotiOndI Republican.
One morning this week one of the new Senate
committee clerks, "A brand new importation
from a W England State, seated himself at n
table in ~" Senate restaurant and ordered
some tea and asst and his order was promptly
filed. AS soon as his exi ectant gaze beheld tie
toast, he e., are nat it was not Of the quality
he desired; t...-y Ic wanted toast with holes in
it." Being in doubt what was wanted, the
waiter reported the matter to the proprietor
Mr.. Page, who, anxious to please everybody,
ordered the cook to prepare another plate or
toast. Another order of nice, crisp, buttered
toast was soon placed before the young clerk.
Then his indignation became very apparent
He seized the plate OF toast and went with 1t in
person to the proprietor and complained bitter
ly Of his service, and declared that he had twice
ordered toast with holes in it, and the waiter
had brought common bread toast both times
When asked to explain what he meant by
toast with holes in it, he said, Like that
which Mr. - had for breakfast yesterday. "
The waiter remembered that Mr.. -- had been
served with waffleS on that occasion, and there
upon, without further unnecessary delay, the
young man got his toast with holes in 1t.
What's in a name, anyhow?

Maj. Hanson will probably modify his
opinion as TO his fame when he sees himself
referred to in the New York Tribune as
'Col Manson" But for the explanation
that he is the President of several cotton
mills and stocking mandatory, employs
zoo people and is going to demolish Mr.
Carlisle, the Majors friends would not
know to whom the Tribune referred.
There is absolutely no inducement to win
fame while the newspapers are so astonish-
ingly ignorant.

A constitutional Difference.

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, and
Representative Phelan, of Tennessee, agree
as to the necessity for Federal aid to educa-
ton, but they differ as to the power Of Con
gress to grant such aid. The Senator has
been trying for about ten years to get his
educational bill through Congress He has
succeeded twice in getting it half way
through, but the day for final adjournment
arrived before he could make the right sort
of an effort to get it all tie way through.
If he had had a little more time he might
now be watching with smile Of satisfaction
the gradual accomplishment of two objects,
viz. the diminishing of the Treasury sur.
plus and the gradual disappearing of the
illiteracy Of the country.
Representative Phelan wants about So
100000 year appropriated to rid the coun-
try of illiteracy, but he thinks the constitu-
ton stands in the way of an appropriation
of that kind, and so he has introduced into
Congress JOINT resolution to so amend the
constitution that the appropriation can be
made
If Representative PhelanS position is cor
rect Senator Blair will have to wait fully
ten years more before there viii be even a
prospect of getting his educational bill half
way through Congress again. He must
feel very much cast down by the obstacle
which Representative Phelan has raised up
TO prevent the progress Of hi, bill. What
the Senator and Representative should do
is this: They should agree not to trouble
Congress with their educational schemes
until they have settled the question as to
which one of them is right on this consti-
tutional point. They might meet two or
three times a week and debate the matter
When one converts the other to his view
they can bring the question of Federal aid
to education before Congress again.

Prof. Mendenhall, of Indiana, has been
lecturing i'll Baltimore on earthquakes The
conclusion reached by HIM was that it is
impossible to give the exact cause of any
particular earthquake, or to foretell their
occurrence as to place or time. Quite right,
you are, professor. About twelve hours
after you had made that last statement, a
small earthquake came along to prove its
correctness.
