ABOUT NoTAlsIEs PUBLIC.
The Bills Passed Affecting Their
Duties and Tenure.

There is considerable interest felt i'll
regard to the legislation this Winter
touching the office of Notaries Public.
There are over 1900 of these officers in
this State, and they are very anxious
to know their exact position, to know
what. If any additional powers have
been given them, or what powers may
have been taken away. They also de-
sire to know if it be true, as reported,
that they have been legislated out OF
office on the first day of July next.
Upon inquiry of Assemblyman Tren-
chard, at his Office, he said
1.-Two bills touching the office of
Notaries' Public, were passed both
Houses this Winter. The first pro-
vided that Notaries Public shall have
authority to take acknowledgements or
proof of any deed or conveyance of
lands, tenants hereditaments lying
and being in this State, or of any mort
gage. &C., or of any other instrument
required by the laws of this State, to
be acknowledged and approved, and
that such acknowledgment or proof
should have the same force and effect
as if the same were taken before
Commissioner of Deeds 1t also pro-
yided that such acknowledgment and
proof be under the seal of the Notary,
and that they should be entitled to
demand and receive the same fees as
are now allowed Commissioners OF
Deeds.
sit was generally supposed that this
bill had gone to the Governor and had
been signed, but I am now informed
that it never became law. After
wards a bill was introduced by Mr..
Kalisch, for the Speaker, which caused
the present terms of Notaries to expire
July 1st next. and as nearly as l can
rememberfor there are no printed cop
les of the bill, it having been rushed
through during the last days OF the
session, under a suspension OF the
rules, it provided that every person
hereafter applying shall pay fee OF
five dollars, that the term OF ofhce
should be five years, that the Secretary
of State is reqnire to send notice OF
every appointment to County Clerk.
This bill passed both Houses and was
reported to have been signed by the
Governor. am now informed that
the Governor has not yet signed either
of the bills, but has them both under
consideration, they having both re.
mained until recently in the hands of
Committee on Passed Bills.
''It will be seen, therefor, that Nota-
ries Public have not, as yet, received
any additional powers, nor have any
of their powers been taken away, and
they have not as yet been legislated
out of Office as is generally supposed" }"
Every thing depends upon the action
of the Governor upon either one or
both of the bills.

Rare CuriOsities.

Capt. Samuel Smallwood is great
lover of the antique, and a careful pre-
server of anything in the way of relics
He brought to this office some of the
more important specimens of his col
lections, and they are really curious.
A petrified bone is Among the number
shown and was picked up from Sickler's
run, Malaga. Another is splendidly
preserved spectacle case which is one
hundred and thirty-five years old. An
other object of curiosity is an old pair
of snuffers which has been in the
family possibly longer than century.
A grape shot was tonged up at Chest
nut Neck, Egg Harbcr, by an oyster
man in 1888 and added to the Captains
collections. During the Revolutionary
War there was an old fort at that place
which was demolished by our English
cousins during that unpleasantry, and
this bullet is probably one that helped
with the destruction.

the condition of Christless souls. The
righteous is like the pam-tree; it can't
be crushed down, it will grow any
where, and makes the oasis in the
desert by scattering it's seeds and draw
ing moisture; and the natives say it is
good for 1855 uses. Iwould rather have
one member of my church who was
good for 365 uses, than to have 1866
members who were not good for aay
thing. (Here Mr.. Mills gave remark
able example of this.) But to you who
are not followers of Christ; these things
apply with ten-fold power to You also.
Judgment must begin at the house of
God; but if the righteous scarcely be
saved, where shall the ungodly and
sinner appear ~
The special choir led by Mr.. I. H.
Woodruff, sang both morning and
afternoon, and did excellently well.

Walter y. Redding Dies ON Satur-
day.


On Saturday afternoon at four
o'clock. Walter s. Redding, the well
known dry goods clerk, OF McGear
Brothers store, died at his home on
Fayette street. The death was very
sudden one, and few of the friends of
the young man knew of the sickness
until death was announced. On Tues
day week he was complaining slightly
while still at the store and the next
day he remained at home. Feeling
much worse on Thursday physician
was called, and while every possible
thing was done for him he died as
stated. His illness was paraphrenitis,
caused by a severe cold.
Mr.. Redding has for years been a
clerk in the store of McGear Bros,
and held a most responsible position.
He formerly worked at the printing
trade. His home was on Fayette St.,
and he leaves a widow, but no children.
His widowed mother resides on Church

benefited by the services of last night
At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr..
Stephenson, who is member of Mon
mouth Lodge, No. 90, at Freehold, N.
j., greeted each Odd Fellow personal
ly with cordial handshake and kind
word. Much of the success ofithis an
niversary is due to DR.. Eph. Bateman
and Mr.. D. G. Adams and others. Too
much praise cannot be given to Mr..
George Ogden, the efficient usher, who
with his assistants, superintended the
seating of the people. Capt. J. M.
Cobb is one of the Oldest Odd Fellows
in this region.

A lady residing in North Cedarville,

using as basi for his remarks story
entitled ''The Reason Why"
Sometimes people get surprised Mrs.
Sinai Colvin was last Saturday evening
when about thirty of her friends and
relatives called upon her, it being the
birthday of Mrs. G. Bridgeton, Fair
ton, Cedarville, Dividing Creek and
Centre Grove, were represented. They
took her beautiful lounge. After
music came refreshments, cake and
apples, but L. D. P. monopolized the
apples. After enjoying a pleasant
evening. the company left for home
wishing Mrs. c. many happy returns
of the occasion.
Some men from the nature of their
business are hardly ever at home, or
when they are they make their stay
short. Such man is he of our daily
stage line, the genial and accomoda-
ting Wainwright. That little folks no.
tice things more than they are oftener
given credit for is proven by the follow
ing which we had from his own lips.
One night accidently he succeeded
in getting home much sooner than
common. AS it happened the little
ones had not yet gone to bed. As the
youngster saw him evidently making
preparations for remaining he looked
at him for while with an expression
of surprise ON his countenance. At
last he burst out with the question
Have you come home to stay?" Oc-
casionally also he is forced to leave
home in hurry and get off his stage.
This fact had also been noted and re-
membered. Taking home some shoes
to try on at his leisure, one pair con-
gress CATERS, were picked up by the
boy and stretching the elastic he ad-
vised his father to take that pair.
"Why?n said the father. Cause you
can get 'em on sooner and get down
street quicker" replied the boy.
A visiting delegation of members OF
the order of the Knights of Pythias

was great man, but did he think of
this when he came to die?


this when he came to die?
A life is ill spent if a man throws
away all of his riches on the Journey
OF life, and lands on the shores of
eternity poor. He'll, he said; is the great
poor house of the future world.
1t is hard to pursue course where
the heart is not. 3ut how easy when
the heart is 10 the work. This brings
the thought that we are to lay up
treasures in heaven. Some think that
all vii! be on the same level in heaven.
There is ~ great mistake in the
thoughts of many as to the manner of
reward of heaven. So far as the ad-
mlttance into heaven, it is the same to
all. THE Scriptures teach us that we
are rewarded according to our works.
The only thing that lives in a mans
action is the good or bad. 1t never
dies. 1t is not that we must do great
things. The Saviour never praises an
action because it is great, but because
it is good. When summing up he will
say good and faithful servant
There will be a great difference in
the degree of rewards. A chila's
heaven is great heaven for child,
but it will be of little interest to a man
whose life has been spent in doing
good deeds. 1t is not those that give
largely from large means that meet
the great reward, but he who gives of
his means, all he can for the sake of
Christ Your riches are not what you
leave, but what you take with yous
Now, brethren, one of the grandest
things in Methodist Church is its COL
lections, because it permits all to do
good work, and by their works shall
we know them.

Some Doubt About This.

A Mississippian was Dragging to q
Yankee of the fertility of the soil of his
region. To give practical illustra-
ton of his subject, he said that he went
to the woods to cut down an oak tree.
After he had chopped for about a week
or ten days, he thought he would take
a walk around the tree just to see how
much more he had to cut. When he
got to the other side he saw another
man chopping at the same oak. II say, y
says our friend, "how long have you
been cutting?'' "Just three weeks, "
SAYS the stranger. The tree was so big
around that they did not hear the sound
of each others axes.

The committee on public health of the
Citizens Sanitary Association met yester-
day afternoon.
a resolution was passed appointing DR..
George Ii. stone "A committee Of one to re-
pert OK the estimated expense OF "a deep
artesian well, and the probable saving that
will accrue to the city by the use OF such a
well or wells and the industrial value Of
the same 10 the pu lie. The report Of Or.
Stone win be- looked forward to with inter
est, as it is believed by many that the same
flow Of artesian water NAV be obtained
horo by going through tho hard rock, as
was obtained at the ST. Augustine artesiau
well which supplies the Ponce do Leon
hotel.
This subject of deep artesian wells was
fully detailed in interviews with those who
have given the subject attention. ii pub
lished In the MORNING NEWS at the time.
The theory is that the same hard rock strata
which DR.. Stone encountered in his well
corresponds closely with that which was
gone through at st. Augustine, and which,
II pierced here with the same result would
obviate the necessity OF expeusive ma
ohinery for water works, and a few such
wells would supply city many times more
populous than Savannah, and furnish an

Those who had given thought 70 the
matter claimed that with the present an
pliances for boring the city could not get
through the rock, but that it would require
the expenditure Of some 5000 or S4, 900 to
get the improved machinery, aud put down

ABBOTT IN Ill TROvATORE"
Verdi's Opera MeRnifcently Rem
dered.

Emma Abbott and her company never
appeared before a more apprecistive audi
ence in Savannah than that Of last night in
"n Trovatore." From the first notes Of the
opening solo, by Frederick, to the last fain
echo of Pruette's voice at the finale, the au-
dience was held in willing thrall
To most of the audience the opera was
familiar but the music was none tire less
sweet and enjoyable because so. Every
thing moved smoothly and the striking
parts were well sung and well rece we'd.
Miss Abbott played the leading role of
"Lenora,n for which she is peculiarly
adapted. Nothing was better done than
the trio in the first act by Abbott, Monte
CRITIC as "Manrico" and Pruette as Count
di Luna" Each Of the interpreters
sang with marvellous force and feeling.
Miss Abbott carried the house with her.
Atthe close of the second act she was recalled
and responded by singing the Last Rose
of Summer" in the rendering OF which
she captured the entire audience. 1t is easy
to see wherein lies the great charm of Mis-
Abbott's ballad singing. 1t Is her ready
sympathy to appreciate an appTeciative au-
dieuce which stimulates her artistic nature
e. do her best, and Ia the matches song,
"The Last Rose of Summer" she surpassed
the brightest anticipations.
One seldom hears a truer, fuller tenor
voice than MOntegrlffOs. his nlgh notes
are rich and clear rs a bell. He was ia
vorite last night, and shared with Miss Alb
bolt the honors of the evening. The high
notes that fell to him at the close Of the
third act were carried in splendid
style and force and the house
broke into a storm of applause.
The applause was so long and loud that
Moutegriffo was compelled to repeat the
difficult passage. His singing Of the i'm
mortal aria "Ah have sighed to rest me,
was especially good, and the audience
demanded repetition, which was accom-
panied by the "Misere," sung by
chorus of nuns. The aria was
sung in Italian, but the bright rainbow of
melody gladdenel the senses of every
listener just the same. Tne other leading
parts were well sustained, Miss Annandale
"Azucena," Nina Bertini as Ines"
Broderick as Fernando" and all Of them
we're in good hands The costumes we're
strikingly handsome, and the chorus and
orchestra did excellent work.
