wITCHERY OF A WARDROBE.
Justice Naughtin's Court Room Hung
With Unmentionsbles.

With Unmention6bles.
Ignatz Ehrenserch, the peddler, took an
inventory yesterday in Justice Naughtiu's
Office OF the stolen goods recovered by De-
tectve Wetherhorn on Friday. Most Of it
was ladies' underwear, which had been
worn, and darnask table cloths, soiled by
rain4 which had leaked through Sarah Ann
SCOTS cabin in Woodvile.
A new phase Of the robbery came out yes
terday morning. 1t turns out that Dick
Page, who peached on Lincoln Young, is
the real thief, and he admits as mucn. He
says that he took the big valise full Of goods
from Ehrenserch's wagon and hid them in
the swamp. A day or two after
a "whole store" down in the swamp,
and the two took a crocus sack down there
and transferred the goods from the valise TO
tho sacks, leaving the vahse in the swamp
where Page saws it yet is The goods were
taken to the cabin Of the Scott woman and
emptied on the floor In the division Young
got the finer class OF goods and the lions
share, for which he says he was to pay
81 80 and he paid 2j cents of the money
TO Page, the latter giving the Scott woman
his share Of the plumber for Christmas
present
The Scott woman put on her fine linen on
Christmas eve got loaded up with rum, be-
cause, as she said "Christnas comes but
once year. and in dancing a cross be-
tween the pigeon wing and the highland
fling she disclosed some of the fancy lace
work OF a stolen petticOat belonging TO the
peddler A keen-eyed darkey noticed that
it was "a little better harness dan dat Mig
gah Sallie Ann Scott can ford to wear, >"
and be intimated that he wouldn't be sur
prsed "if it wasn't some Of dat peddlor's
staff"
When the search began 70 get hot Sarah
Ann hid away some six or seven fine petti-
coats and chemise, and visited Justice
Naughtin's office one day last week to in
quire If she couldn't get some law agin de
no count niggah who'd been excusin her Of
wearin' stolea clothes"
Dony Monroe had been moro provident Of
her goods, which were finer, and Young
had managed to conceal some six or eight
fine chemise, chemisettes, jerseys and skirts,
Dony keeping out but seven Of the original
articles which she had laundried from time
to time, but the Scott woman was wearing
her clothing on the principle that she
wouldn't wash any Of them until she had
worn all Of them.
Ehreuserch estimated tho value of the
goods recovered from the Scott and Monroe
women at ST. or SIS, by reason Of their de-
precated value. He is still cut sixteen
yards of silk and some six or eight articles
OF clothing.
Justice Naughtin held all four of tho
prisoners in the sum of $500 each.
1t was amusing to hear the women
e1cusing and apologizing for goods
which the Scott woman claimed was
given to her and which the Monroe woman
claimed she bought of Young for a debt for
cooking for him, and both women swearing
that they would have received them under
no circumstances if they had had any idea
that theY had boon stolen.

Eager base ballists are talking up a south

with provision with a specified penalty
for q violation Of the rule IN the constitu-
tion prohibiting the expenditure of more
than 81 900 Ia month for salaries by any
club, would, it is believed, have an effect
Of keeping alive the active rivalry which is
so essential TO the success of base ball in this
section of the country. The salary limita-
tioa would, at the same time, doawaY with
the ruinous rivalry hitherto existing be
tween clubs which may have happened to
be anxious to secure the services of the
same player"
The Worlds idea of an eight-club league
which would entirely obviate the long
jumps" which so grievously deplete clubs
exchequer, would be to include in the
league Charleston, Savannah, Columbus.
Macon, Augusta, Atlanta, Birmingham and
Mobile.
While sone of these cities are not good
base ball towns" there is not a single one of
them which would not support a one
thousand-dolar-a -month team, in an eight

man thinks. Base ball enthusiasm is
not running very high in Savannah
and is not likely to, although there are
many here who believe that an eight-club
league could be organized and maintained
Savannahs experience in base ball has been
rather costly for those who have had the
management Of the sport, and there is a

Mrs. Browning once said: II would
rather write on almost any SUBJECT other
than the etiquette of my country women"
The reason was that the faults are 50 many,
so glaring, so out of character that 1t hur1o
one, touches ones pride Of country to be
obliged to tell the truth about them, in all
particulars. They talk too loud and
too much. At the public reception of a
lady member Of the family Of a cabinet
officer, last Wednesday, one OF the ladies' as
sistiug her was bright and really beau
tiful young girl from the West. She IS an
educated, cultured, and, they say, finished"
girl from Vassar Her western home
believes in her, and they say that she sets
the Style for her set That may be, put
she doesn't make patterns for anyone IN
good society here. When she laughs, the
back of her head flies back, her mouth opens,
and t. ere comes forth a sound which never
ought to be heard outside Of her fathers
barn. She is always laughing, too. II she
would learn to stand quietly, smile only
when greatly pleased, and only smile, she
would b. really charming. Her lips are as
luscious and rosy as blood ripe cherries,
Her teeth are like double rows Of pearls.
Hec tongue, at the point, is just thick
enough to make her lisp beautifully, and
the reduess of 1t is charmingly attractive.
But, after her manner, she throws away
her greatest and easiest charm. by tom
boy boisterousness. She is not too young to
know better, either, although yet in her
teens. This, too, is a cultured lady. She is
not a sketch, but an actual live girl Of the
period
One Of the absurd things of society which
amazes rural visitors is the method of OIL
cial calling in this city. Senators and other
officials Of all grades send their cards by
messengers to all Within their calling circle
of acqualutancos. Cards are returned every
week Or two, and thus the officials make
believe that they have called upon each
other. There was a bluff old commodore,
stationed here few years ago. who had been
on sea duty for a long tins, and his So
ciety manners were strongly impregnated
with the vocabulary Of the quarter deck.
One day he received q card from a young
lieutenant of the army, with the letters
"E. p" penciled in the corner. He met
the young man few days later, acknowl-
edged the receipt of his card, and asked
what 'E. p" meant. The society man in
formed him that it meant. I'm Person.
that is, that he, the lieuterant, had called
in person. The old man smiled grimly, and
concluded to have q joke on his friend, SO he
sent a colored man to his quarters down at
the arsenal, bearing the card of the COM
EodOre, with IS. b. ~" pencied IN one
corner. That was too much for the army
man 10 comprehend, so he called "in person.
to ask what was meant by il, and the commo-
dore roared out at him: IS. B. Y. means,
Sent by a Niger ha, ha, ha" For truths
sake, the officials Of this city might as well
write IS. b. M on their cards, for nearly
all them are sent by colorel servants. Mr..

WASHINGTON, jan. 2G.-There are more
bad manners displayed in the great east
room of the white house on reception days
than anywhere else in the world
of alleged good society. Ladies
try to talk French, Spanish or German, and
carry on conversations in the presence Of
their friends, whom they know to be unable
to understand either of those languages. \
few years ago one Of these fresh young
misses undertook TO converse in French
with the wife Of the Russian Minister.
That lady, albeit a magnificent French
scholar, replied wholly in very badly pro
nounced English. Finally the young lady
said, in French: Countess, why do you
use English when French is much easier
