The Black Shaen.

Herbert Beecher, son Of the late Henry
Ward Beecher, is proving himself 70 be a
pretty bad sort of fellow. He has been
in two or three scrapes since he has been
on the Pacific slope and it looks as if he
were determined to pursue a crooked
course until placed beyond the reach of
temptation.
Mr. Cleveland was criticised for giving
him an Office. 1t is probable, however,
that Mr.. Cleveland knew nothing of the
young man and appointed him on
the representation of Henry Ward
Beecher, to whom he was under some obi
cations. Young Beecher was not in his
new position long, however, before he got
into trouble, and was saved from being
placed in very unpleasant position by his
father, who interferred in his behalf
The charge now brought against him is
very serious one, and as he has no influen-
tial friends to shield him, the chances are
that he will have to suffer the penalty Of
his crime. if it be true, as alleged, that he
systematically robbed the government and
those who had dealings with the govern
ment, while he was a treasury agent at
Portland, Ore.
1t seems that he makes no denial of the
charge which has been brought against
bin. He has given bond for his trial mex
October. In the meantime perhaps he will
do his utmost to get out of what now looks
like a very bad scrape. This young man is
doubtless the black sheep in the Beecher
flock. 1t was hoped, doubtless, when he
was sent to the Pacific coast that he would
mend his ways

The Old-Fashioned Man.

The old-fashoned man is a sensible creature,
Retiring in manner and wholesome of feature
He never is rude enough, quite; nor nhuman
Enough to forget that his ma was woman,
And therefore his courtesy never falls fiat;
When he speaks to a woman he takes off his hat.
His garments are quiet, yet not out of date;
He never looks cheerful, nor pirates he of fate. "
In his doctrine there's no such thing, sir,
chance"
His mind is a broad one, Of friendly expanse
He seldom goes wooing, and yet when he goes
The "masher' stands back, and the dude-well
he knows
That his mascot's over; defeated his plan
They all make broad room for the old-fashioned
man.
They see with chagrin how he wins him wife,
And knows how to keep her respect all his life;
His children adore him, for none better can
Inspire true respect than the old-fashioned man,
Long life and good health may he have, and
may he
The pride OF this vain world for e'er and e'er be-
Till time hath an end-redivivus and plan
Ay, long may he tiourish-the old-fashioned

Kimberly Blameless.

There was some disposition in the navy
department, before the full account of the
Samoan disaster was received, to blame
Admiral Kimberly for the loss of the
American feet. 1t was not understood why
he did not put to seq and ride out the gale
there, instead of remaining in the harbor of
Apia, which is a remarkably dangerous one
in storm. 1t was thought that if the
British steamer could go to sea, Ad miral
Kimberly made great mistake in not or
dering the American vessels to sea also, I'M
less he did not have coal, in which case, it
was alleged, some other official had
neglected his duty.
The story of the disaster as told in the
MORNING NEWS on Sunday and Monday
shows clearly why he did not order the feet
to sea, 1t seems that neither the British,
German nor American commanders thought
that the storm would be as severe as it
proved to be. No one of them had a doubt
that his vessels were just as safe III the
harbor as they would be at sea. IL was not
until the storm became 80 terrific that the
ships became unmauageab lie that the real
danger of the harbor becl apparent, and
then 1T was too late for either the German
or American vessels to put to sea. Their
engines we're not powerful enough to make
Roadway against the wind and current
The British steamer had remarkably power
full engines, and she was just able, aud that
was all, to reach the open sea.
1t seems that the belief prevails among
the shipwrecked men at Samoa that the
Trenton, the flag ship. would not have been
lost had it not been for her faulty construc-
ton. Since the reception of the full report
Of the disaster there is no disposition at the
navy department to hold Admiral Kim
berly responsible for it. He and all the
other officers did all thy could to save the
fleet.

Merchants Week.

The business men of the city do not seem
TO be taking as much interest in merchants
May week as they should. They do not
seem to realize that there will be an i'm
mense number Of strangers present from
all parts of the south, and that the north
and west will be represented. The conven-
ton of the Southern Travellers Association
will insure the presence OF a great many
commercial travellers, bat the number Of
them will be small compared 20 the number
of visitors who will have no connection
with the convention, but who will take ad-
vantage of the remarkably low railroad
fares to see Savannah and participate
in the festivities Those who have the
management Of the affair have informa-
ton which justiies them in expecting at
least 10, 600 visitors. Such number means
business for retail dealers in nearly all
branches Of business, and for hotel keepers.
Even wholesale dealers will be benefited to
a certain extent, because merchants in the
interior will improve the opportunity they
win have to replenish their stocks of goods.
An elaborate programme for the enter
tainment of visitors has been announced,
and as the arrangements for the weeks en-
tertainment are in the hands of the Savan-
nah branch of the Southerl Travellers AS
sociation, it is certain that nothing will be
left undone to make the occasion one that
can be referred to with satisfaction and
pride
The reputation Of Savannah for hospital
ity. and for doing whatever she undertakes
la nd MA sc or la IN
thousands of visitors must be entertained,
and the people of Savannah must provide
the means for doing it. A few business
men have made liberal subscriptions, but
the amount of money in tue hands
of the committees is not near enough to
meet the demands that will be made upon
it. Those who will be directly benefited
should subscribe literally, and those who
will be benefited only indirectly should lend
a helping hand in order to sustain the city's
reputation for making those who accept her
invitations have an enjoyable time.
The commercial men who are at the head
of the gala week affair are doing their
utmost to make it great success. They
feel proud of their city and it will give
them, and every other genuine Savan-
nathan, the greatest satisfaction to
hear her praises sung by those
who will visit her during the festivities.
They should not be cramped in their prepa-
rations for want of money. They should
be encouraged in the only substantial way
that they can be, and that is by providing
them with the means for carrying out their
programme in a manner that will reflect
credit upon their organization and upon the
city. The city is bound to be the gamer
Visitors to the number of 10000, or even
5000, will make noticeable increase in the
activity in many lines of business.
Let us MAKE merchants week one of gen.
uine enjoyment, not only for ourselves but
those who visit us, and in order to do this
let us prepare for it with a generous hand.

A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Paris. says that the hotel
keepers OF that city "have united upon a
scheme Of unprecedented cheating aud sx-
tortion" during the exposition. He states
that at a meeting held about three weeks
ago, they agreed to advance tneir rates 40
por cent. after April Is. He advises A ner-
leans not to visit Paris after that time
without having fist made in writing ex-
act and perfectly UNDERSTOOD arrangements
for living" Fton the reports that com
from Now York, it seems that the same ad-
vice might very properly be given 10 peg
pls intending to visit New York during the
centennial exercises.

The women Of Grovetown. Ca, where the
lamented poet, Paul H. Hayne, lived and
died, have lately had dedicated little
church that was built as a memorial t o tho
poet. The church is modest, but pretty
one, and its cost was $l,775. Ia Building
it, debt Of about 500 was incurred, aud
an appeal has been made to the admirers of
the late poet to wipe out the debt, as well
as to furnish money for an org an aud other
headed articles. The New York Times says
that a public reading, in which several
Well-known authors will Ike part, is in
contemplation in that city for the benefit
of the fund, aud that it will probably take
place some time next month. O5her cities
might very properly follow New York's
example. In that way the desired amount
of money would soon be secured.

"a Time is Comm"
From the Arkansato Traveller.

Jonathan Balsh, negro justice of the peace,
was startled one morning upon finding that his
commission had been revoked, He, therefore,
fastened TO the governor and made inquiry rela-
tive to the cause of dismissal. The governor,
after listening to the old fellow, said:
'Balsh, law is protection, not an imposi-
ton"

talk TO English reporters when sae arrived
in London the other day than she was to
talk TO American ones before she sailed.

was considerably improved and that
she had never for an instant been

much of a success as a public speaker, as
