Increased to 100000.

Senator Brown has succeeded in getting
the Committee ON Commerce to increase
the appropriation for Savannah harbor
from 800, 900 to $780, 900. This amount is
suffcient to complete the 22-foot improve
ment and begin the one VIII ch has for its
object 2S-foot channel
Senator Brown will see to it that the
Senate approves the committees action. If
the Georgia Representatives will all act
unitedly and determinedly in behalf
of the increase when the river and
harbor bill goes back to the House,
it will be agreed to, because it is I'M
derstood that the River and Harbor Com
mittee has said that it would not oppose
any reasonable increase which the Senate
might make.
We said some time ago, and we repeat it,
that Savannah is not alone interested in
the Improvement of her harbor The whole
State is interested, because Savannah is the
chief port of the State. The farmers and
merchants of the State will be benefited by
lower freight and insurance rates, and these
rates depend TO very great extent upon
the condition of Savannah harbor. Every
member of the Georgia delegation. there
fore, should feel it his duty to do what be
can for the improvement of this harbor.
Senator Browns services are understood
and appreciated, not only in Savannah, but
also throughout the vast section of country
whose products and supplies pass through
this port, and every other member Of the
Georgia delegation who assists in giving
Savannah deeper water to the sea will find
that his efforts are recognized.

Animal Attachments.


Funny, isn't it., said the keeper of the Zoo
chow different kinds of animals and birds will
become attached to each other when Gagged IN
together or confined in adjoining compart
ments Now, there's that ring-tailed monkey
for instance, he has been making love TO the
BOBBY owl The latter sits blinking in the next
cage and the poll parrot and the tomcat in that
cage over there are as intimate as two burglars
planning to crack a safe.
1.-THE funniest thing of the whole lot. however,
is the way that snake in the cage over here
crawls through the wire and twists itself around
the white monkeys tail Talk about a monkey.
and parrot time, tho antics of that monkey and
snake lay all over anything in that line. They
play the very devil sometimes too. The other
day. while performing one of their double
trapeze acts, the snake must have bitten the
monkey, for the latter got mad and swung him
self around with the rapidity of roulette ball
and dashed through into the next cage He kept
whrling the snake about, knocked down three
doves in the pigeon loft, broke the glass out of
the east window, bursted through the wire net
ting aud started on q dead run for Woodbury.
Before they got to the edge OF the woods the
monkey darted up tree. The monkey is up
the tree yet, but ne is minus bis tail. The snake
didn't want to follow the animal up the tree and
twisted itself around the base Of the tree, while
the monkey made a desperate plunge and part
ed with his caudal appendage
The snake then crawled back 70 the Zoo and
entered its cage and hung the monkeys tail
up on the imitation tree stump and went to
sleep.

A Popular Idea Exploded.


81 wish you would say" said the clerk of one
of the hotels last night, that the impression
which used to prevail that hotel clerks wear
diamond pins is erroneous, 1t is moss covered
and worm-eaten. don t know what sort of man
the hotel clerk who used to be in business when
the mail coaches were the only modes of con-
veyance was He may have had peck of dia-
monds But the hotel clerk of to-day doesn't
indulge in such extravaganza. l don't say this
because l haven't any. We are a pretty COM
merclal lot as a rule. The people we see, the
questions we have to answer, and at the same
time keep up a smile, do not make us long for
diamonds | think if you would call us public
confeSsionals you would about hit the mark
1t il funny how strangers will conhde in hotel
clerks. They come in, register, and as soon as
they can get chance tell clerk all about their
family affairs; what they are here for, and
where they are going at night, and how much
money they have. II a hotel clerk were a mind
to, he could break up more families than any
divorce lawyer or private detective in the coun-
try. Please say for us that we are an unhappy
lot

from me century,
We started one morn, my love and |,
On a journey brave and bold;
Twas to find the end Of the rainbow,
And the buried bag of gold
But the clouds rolled by from the summers SKY
And the radiant bow grew dim,
And we lost the way where the treasure lay,
Near the sunsets golden rim.
The twilight fell like curtain
Pinned with the evening star,
And we saw in the shining heavens
The new moons golden car.
And we said as our hands clasped fondly,
What though we found no gold?
Our love is richer treasure
Than the rainbow's sack can hold"
And years, with their joys and sorrows,
Have passed since wa lost the way
To the beautiful buried treasure
At the end of the rainbow's ray;
But love has been true and tender
And life has been rich and sweet,
And we still clasp hands with the olden Joy
That made our day complete.

Affairs in Brazil.

The illness, in Milan, of Dom Pedro IL.
among his people, by whom he is held in a
marked degree of respect and affectionate
loyalty. If it does not end in his death, it
may cause him to abdicato the throne in
favor of his successor, Princess Isabel
Before he undertook his present European
journey there were rumors that he would
abdicate, and these rumors were strength
ened by the fact that his father had Dur
sued that course at time when the present
ruler was only years old, leaving the en-
pire under a regency for over nine years.
After a reign of nearly half a century, Dom
Pedro ii. has become somewhat neglectful
of his state duties, leaving them in a great
measure to the Princess and to tho imperial
Parliament, while he devoted much of his
time to study and travel, which, however.
did not prevent him from giving attention
to philanthropic and charitable enterprises.
The Emperor is interested very greatly in
the movement looking to the emancipation
of Brazilian slaves, and it has been his ear
nest desire TO bring about total emancipation.
The very recent action of the Brazilian
Parliament, agreeing to his plans, must be
very gratifying to him.
The heireSs presumptive is a woman of
decided convictions, but, it is said, of no
very decided talents, and owing to her per-
sonal characteristics she is not very popular
with the people
She may not become Empress, however.
II is believed by many that upon the death
of the Emperor there will be a revolution,
and that the empire will be transformed
into republic.
Dom Pedro visited the United States
some years ago, and when he returned to
Brazil he was prepared to institute thore
some needed reforms. Being progressive,
and travelling with his eyes open, he created
a most favorable impression in this country.

In the tariff debate which has just closed
the Democrats have had decidedly the best

they had the advantage OF being on the

Turner and Wilson. The Republicans have
been represented by some good takers, but
