The committee having in charge the
question of accepting the proposition Of
| Col. Hawkins, President of the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery railroad, to
build his road to this city by December.
1890. for $50, 900, meets this afternoon for the
purpose of considering the proposition. All
the members Of the committee ought to
make an effort to be present. The PROPOSE
tion that must be accepted or rejected is
very important one. If it is accepted Sa-
vannah will have, doubtless, another rail
road communication with the western part
of the state, and with the great west with
in the next two years II it is rejected she
will lose, in all probability, very consid-
cradle percentage of her trade in Southwest
Georgia
The necessity for the projected road, and
the advantages of it, have been stated so
often that they are thoroughly understood
by every one who is in any way interested
in Savannah. Railroads are being built by
other Georgia cities which threaten TO take
from Savannah a portion of her most de-
sirable trade Savannah, if she wants to
protect herself against this loss, and at the

to that which she already enjoys. must help
build other railroads.
There is no doubt that the Savannah,
Anericus and Montgomery railroad would
be of immense value to Savannah, and her
business men aud property owners can well
afford to make the small donation which
President Hawkins asks to bring the road
here If all of them contribute according
to their means the burden upon each will
oe light, but if few are permitted TO
shoulder the whole burden, while others
equally interested refuse any assistance
whatever, though expecting to share the
benefits if the rood is built, it will bear
rather heavily upon them. Every property
owner and business man in the city should
help this enterprise. II they would the

Mr.. Munemitsu mutSu, the Japanese minister,
is jolly little diplomat who is very interesting
to all Americans who meet him, but he com
plains frequently that he is having an uphill
time learning the English language. Not
long ago he declared that he had despaired of
ever being able to carry on a smooth, easy con
versstion in our language.
Why, Mr.. Mutsu, exclaimed bright, young
lady who was present. Il think you are learn
ing English very rapidly"
oh, yes said the minister 81 am talking
some Of it quite well, but cannot get your
slang. l get all mixed up when I speak slang .
The japanese minister thinks the slang phrases
Of Americans decidedly funny and ne has been
exceedingly anxious 70 pick up the more com
mon phrases. Most of the everyday express
sions have been explained TO him, and he laughs
immediately at them. "In the soup" tickles
him very much aud he says he is going to have
lots of fun one of these days springing Ameri-
can slang phrases on his countrymen when he
goes home

My lips breathed forth the trysting words;

Across the floor her footsteps stirred.
A lamp soon starred the window pane,
No sound rolled down the midnight streets;
The ladder next the house was lain,
And on its rounds were trem biing feet
No sound rolled down the midnight street,
The ladder neither cTeaked nor turned,
And on its rounds We're trembling feet;

Boul.nRer Disappearing.

Boulanger does not seem to be attracting
any attention In England. Crowds do not
throw up their hats when he smiles, and
nobody tremblss when he frowns. In fact,
he is ignored by all except a very few.
In France he does not command the at
tention he did few months ago. In fact,
he is in danger of being forgotten The
French are mercurial people. They are
not faithful to one hero long unless he
proves himself worthy of all the honor that
is bestowed upon him. Boulanger has
never shown himself to be a great man in
any respect. He was, and still
is, supplied with money by those
who hope that he will eventually become
President or dictator, and that they will
profit by his rise to power; and that por-
ton of the people who have followed him
is influences more by a desire for change
than anything else. Perhaps the belief that
he would seek to recover Alsace and Lor-
raiue from Germany if he we're at the head
of the government has had something to do
with making him popular
France, just now, is more interested in her
great exhibition than she is in Boulanger q,
and If he romans in England much longer
the establishment created by the Eiffel
Tower will drive Boulanger out of the
minds Of the people.
Boulanger's friends in France are sup
posed to be working for him, but the govern
ment appears to be in dread of him no
longer. He has taken house in London,
and is there surrounded nv @ i;ttIa oo.oria
OF satellites. France. however, is getting
along very well without him, and unless he
does something soon to draw attention to
himself the nation will forget him as com
pletely as il he we're dead.

A Girls Strange Fate.

Between a lover and a husband
there's many a slip, as tragic occur
renee in the Bukowina reminds us. y
young girl of that province was so
pretty that all the young men In the
village and neighborhood fell in love
with her. She had more than hun
dred offers of marriage, but, as she was
only 10, she refused them all. When
she was 20 she was betrothed; but her
intended died suddenly from the eff
fects of an accident. y second fiance
had 10 join the army, and left the viii
lage for several years. So it was with
third and fourth. The fifth and sixth
were drowned. ] he seventh aud
eighth found the young lady's fortune
too small. The ninth got drunk on the
betrothal day and tried to beat his lady
love, SO she sent him away. The tenth
seemed everything that could be
wished, but just as the marriage was
going to take place news came that this
perfect rdnce had a wife and several
children in Bessarabia. A few weeks
afterwards an eleventh suitor presented
himself, and the wedding day was
fixed, but the evening before the bride
groom suddenly decamped. This last
