They've had their dinner from the

"Of course you don't. And what do
you think of our Spanish able seaman

The Captain smiled broadly with the
question. and the two then exchanged
some comments over the strange cpl
sode, which it will be unnecessary to
repeat.
The Captain walked forward, near
where the crew were at work Sullen
eyes and angry glances were directed
at him as he passed, and one of the
negroes shook fist behind his back,
but all were careful not to be seen
at it.
Captain Willis went to the bow and
looked over. The foam flew before the
cutwater as the bow rapidly cleared
the deep. He looked back and saw the
sails bellying ont with the rising breeze,
and heard the pleasant creaking of the
spars and eordage.
This promises good rum" he
soliloquzed. .
At the head of the cabin-stairs he
gave a final direction to the mate.

"Good! Thank you! Your help will

ON SHAKING HANDS.
Reaching Mans Character by the Way
in Which He Does.

Reaching Mans Character by the Way
in Which He Does.
A pretty good index to mans character
is the way in which he shakes hands,
saws the Chicago Journal. There is your
ever-cordial and beaming friend who grabs
your helpless fingers in his great fist
and almost wrings them off in grasp
far more violent than the torturers senti-
ments are sincere. This sort of q man will
wiring in this way the hand of an acquant-
ance whom he doesn't care tot about, isn't
likely to see again for year, and don't care
II he doesn't. Then there is your limp, life
less hand-shaker, who responds to your own
honest and moderate grasp with set of
digits that contain as much vim and friend
ship as link of cold sausages in a pork
butchers shop. You may, too, have run
across the languid lackadaisical wight who
insults your well-meaning cordially by
calmly proffering you his left hand as he
lolls back in his chair. This was practice
greatly affected by railroad men in the old
days when you could call on them for pass
without having Interstate Commerce
lawP' bawled into your ear. But of all
Misunderstanding horrors, preserve me from the
man who possesses himself Of your fist and
fondles it affectionately in his own, wrap
ping it in his long, 1.-THE fingers and pressing
and stroldng it for all the way from one to
nine minutes. You don't know what to do
with such man, do youl You can't draw
your hand away without offending him, and
you can't submit to the application without
cold chills crawling down your spine. On
your choice betwixt the two evils will de-
pend the length of the torture you endure
when you meet the affectionate man again.

n matters but little where you live.
In country, or city, or town,
I'd like to ask you if you ever tried
To run rumor down!
The sailing is easy enough at first
You smile as you onward go;
But all at once, at certain point
Nobody seems to know.
For instance: The Misses Potts over the way
Have very poor blood in their veins;
Their grandfather fed to the Queens coun.
trie"
With a lot OF ill-gotten gains.
30 runneth the story that Mrs McTash
Obtained from her neighbor, Miss Low,
Who got It from others. and they from whomi
Well
Nobody seems to know
There's Parson Bilberry, q saint Of the cloth,
Who breaches salvation from he'll,
He winks at one sister who isn't his wife,
And smiles at another as well.
You grapple the rumor, determined, il true,
To deal the bad parson a blow;
Who witnessed the winks' Who recorded the
sn1iless
Nobody seems to know.
Again-Mr. Dodson came home rather late,
And showed his condition, OF course;
And now his dear wife, who has suffered SO
long.
Has asked for o Dill OF divorce
OF course, this is true; It's the talk OF the town;
You hear it wherever you go;
But who is the author? Whose tongue gave 1t
BIRTH
Nobody seems to know.
Once more-Mrs. Shoddy stands back Of the
blinds
And f1irts with man not her own;
And little Miss Blodgett, reputed quite rich,
Is as poor as the moss on q stone.
And Deacon Mcclure loves drop ION the
sly"
Though his pray'r is all fervor and glow;
Just try TO run down these reports, and you'n
find
That nobody seems TO know.
Yes, nobody knows, Jet thousand tongues
wag,
CIn country, and city, and town;
And many story dissolves into air
Whenever you hunt it down.
Who starts all the rumors we hear nowadaysf
Can it be that, like Topsy, they grow!
OF this, rest assured-'tis miserable lie
When nobody seems TO know.

1888 Laid to Rest and 1859 Comes
Bright and Smiling.
The eve Of the new year was very quiet
one in Savannah. There were few people
on the streets TO witness the dying of 1885,
Watch-night services were held at Wesley
Monumental church, where the congrega-
tions of Triuinity, Wesley Monumental and
New Houston street Methodist churches
united. At the Christian church. on Bolton
street, services were held and the
old year was rung out aud the
New Year rung in with a silver bell.
Nearly all Of the colored churches held
services and watched the old year out
As the exchange clock struck II there
was changing of bells on the shipping
along the wharves, footing Of horns
and firing of pistols and peppers
all over the city. The locomotive
whistles in the railroad yards screeched
and the church bells rang a merry
welcome to 1889 Fireworks we're set off in
the southern part of the city, and the sky
was illuminated. For an hour there were
more people on the streets than there were
in the early evening.
Socially, New Years eve was quite gen.
orally observed There were receptions in
many parts Of the city. The Harmonic
Club gavea brilliant reception at its rooms.
At Armory hall the old year was danced
out and the new year in.
To-day is Il legal holiday. The banks ana
exchanges, the board OF trade and cotton
exchange. and the county and municipal
offices will be closed. The custom house
employees will be given holiday, and Sun
day hours will be kept at the postoffice.
Business will generally be su pended, and

CITY REGISTRATION BEGUN.

The Registration List OF 1885 Prina
Facie Evidence That Taxes are Paid.
The city registration began yesterday
morning in the four militia districts Of the
city. A MORNING NEWS sought to obtain
last night from S. Elsinger, presi-
dent Of the Board OF registra-
ton, a statement Of the number
who had registered in the city yesterday,
but Mr.. Elsinger declined 10 furnish any
figures. He claims that the law prohibits
the giving out Of any information what
ever in connection with the progress Of the
registration until on Friday, Jan. II, on
which day they are required 20 publish .

time Of closing the books for the day pre-
vious, 20 be followed by publication Of the
entire list, on Monday Jan. IA, Of all who
have registered.
IL was learned from other sources that
there was quite a rush at the Fourth dis
trict place Of registration, but, on the
whole, IL was not a liz days work, and IL
is known that there were less than fifty
registered in the Second district.

The Second District Democratic Club
met last night at No. 166 Bryan street, and
nominated w. B. Nell and Andrew J.
Aylesworth for Second district aldermen.
Mr.. Nell is a member of the present board
of aldermen, and Mr.. Aylesworth has seen
service in past years and was once chair
man of the street and lane committee. A
committee was appointed by the club TO
wait on the nominees and notify them Of
the nomination.
The club decided that it will send con-
florence committee Of ten to meet with the
other clubs and when the club adjourned it
adjourned till tonight, at which time the
conference committee win be selected 1t
is understood from one Of the members
present that the club decided to support
Maj. Schwarz for mayor, although an
other member was as positive that such
action had not been taken, and that the
club is divided between Sch and
Thomas, and the Schwarz folks secured an
adjournment because they feared il the
president appointed the conference commit
tee it would be made Thomas delegation.
The club will most likely take the matter
into its own hands.
