II SEEMS by the dispatches that
Senator Plumb voiced the sentmen,
of the east, in regard TO reclaiming
arid lands, when he was here last
summer. He took the high ground,
remarks the Salt Lake Tribune. that
it by expending some money great
region of land, now valueless, could
be brought into a condition to be
cultivated, there would be more over
production, aud, besides, farmers
who are now living in Kansas and
helping to support that state would
be lured away. This, we suspect, is
modern craftsmanship of the econom-
ic kind. But, as agents OF govern
men,, and bound to do the hest for
the government aud people possible,
the Congress of the Unitei States
will not accept the above view, unless
it is filled with Plumbs OF the same
calher that the one from Kansas is.

CTS ScHLossER, Elnery's clerk,
slew a lynx this winter, which he
stuffed the other day, and has set him
mp, under cover, by his writing desk,
aud he presents proud, handsome
appearance, 1--WE mean the lynx, not
Gus) and looks as if he wouldn't do
to fool with. Gus slew this animal
aud stuffed him for self protection, to
keep the Idaho girls from coming at
him too thick, with view of captur-
ing him, and treating to candy and
such things is knocking a big hole in
his finances. When the girls get too
thick, Gus, with enticing words and
beaming smiles, draws the unsuspect
ing lasses near him, and then he sud
'len Y resurrects the furious looking
animal from his hiding place, swings
him quickly around to the front and
at tie same time lets out a frightful
panther scream, and there is wild
stampede. Gus is gay joker, but
his lynx racket will soon get old, and
fail to frighten, aud then he'll have
to tax his ingenuity for a new scheme.

THE Boise stage arrived here last
Wednesday evening. The stage
failed to ge; through on the I'd inst,
from Boise, and has failed right
along until Wcdne day, on account
of slides and the bad condition of the
road generally between this place
and Stiermau's, as result of the
heavy rain storm. The stages run
ming from Boise TO Sherman have
carried hut little mail, scarcely
enough TO he worth mentioning
Just what one man could easily carry
on his back from there to this place.
The result is, there is now ton Of
Basin mail lying at the capital. If
the stage company had been in the
least disposed to accommodate the
people of the Basin by fulfilling their
contract SO far as they could conven-
iently do so, they could have secured
number of men here to carry the
mails between this place and Stler-
mans at reasonable wages. But
they acted as if they had taken the
contract to get the mails through, or
to not get them through, just as 1t
suited them, aud when 1t would have
cost few bits extra, it suited them
not to, from an economical and Imam
cial standpoint, on the business pr'n'
cipal that money saved is money
made, regardless of the terms OF the
contract. This company ought to De
giyen another contract, their pay
doubled. aud their will and pleasure
in the matter Of carrying, at all sea-
sons. and under all circumstances
and conditions, be declared supreme
by proper authority.

THE ART ACADEMY RECEPTION.
The Gallery to be Open to the Public
From / / to To-day.

The Gallery to be Open to the Public
From 1 to 3 To-day.
The Telfair academy will be open to the
public free between IL and o'clock to-day.
No cards will be required.
The reception will afford the first public
view of the art gallery as rearranged, and
OF the new pictures purchased by Director
Brandt during his last European trip.
Since the new pictures have been hung the
gallery has been thronged with visitors.
The great Kaulbach picture and Mr..
Brandts picture by Story, "Ihe Black
Prince" which he secured in Paris last
summer, and which he has loaned the gal
lery, with the Syzmanowski, the Luben,
the ''Gefecht" and the "Relics of the Brave"
and the Otto cartoon are tie works which
have excited the admiration of everyone.
MIR. Brandt's Praxiteles and his companion
piece to his Mexico, The Land of the Mid
night Sun, will also be seen for the first time
at a public view.
The managers have made every arrange
ment for the reception, and it is expected
that the academy will be crowded.

BETHEA STILL IN JAIL.
he VIM Probably be Bailed Out This
Morning.

No further examination Of the railway
postal clerk, A. G. Bethea, was had yester-
day. His father, well TODD farmer near
Marion, s. c., will arrive in the city this
morning, and 1t is thought will take his son
out on bail this forenoon.
1t has been learned that Inspector Wiide
put three or four decoy packages in the
mails last Monday, one of which was pur-
posely mutilated so that four 81 bills, a silk
handkerchief and other articles were ex-
posed to view. Bethea might have appro-
priated the contents of that pack
age as well as the one he is alleged
to have takon with felonious intent, but he
took the mutilated package to Postal Clerk
Driscoll, and, turning it over to the latter,
took his receipt for 1t.
Friends of Bethea hold that, having an
opportunity to take the greater sum and not
doing so, he would hardly have taken
the less valuable decoy. Suddenly
confronted by Inspector Wilde before
he could register the moneys and stud, they
claim that the fear that the inspector would
not accept his explanation of his intentions
to send the property to the superintendent
of railway mails, he misled him to avoid
trouble.
Being young man, bearing an ire
proachable name, after three years in the
railway mail service, Bethea's friends
think that his motives have been miscon-
strued, and that he did not intend to keep
the money or jewelry.

PLY chosen point of view from which the
stately live oaks, with their sturdy limbs
and hanging moss, form grand arch which
impresSes one with the majestic beauties of
the southern forest tree The striking
feature of the picture, however, is the ex.
treme quiet and repose which pervade the
scene. One can Imagine that the arched
boughs and pendant moss sympathized
with the mournful figure passing silently
beneath them to the resting place of some
loved one, while a few rays of sunlight
CHANGING across the foreground are sug-
gestive that there is hope in her sad life.
Mr.. Hall who has high reputation as n
painter, removed from the north a few
years since, and bought lovely place at

where he spends his time in cultivating his
farm, and doing splendid artist work.

TO WELCOME MR.. MORTON.
The Vice Presidents Coming Visit

The Vice Presidents Coming Visit
Expected to be an Event.
AS was announced in the MORNING NEWS
of last Thursday, Vice President Morton
will leave Washington March 10 for the
south, with st. Augustine as his objective
point. He is likely, however, to stop over
in Savannah before his return to Washing
ton, and it is thought no more than proper
and courteous for some steps to be taken to
induce him to do so. This is the opinion of
the mayor aud aldermen and citizens in
general.
There will be called meeting of the city
council within day or two, at which that
body will take appropriate action. This
was the sense of those who have learned
that Mr.. Morton is coming this way. The
freedom Of the city will be extended him in
cordial invitation.
Supt. Fleming Of the Savannah, Florida,
and Western railway said yesterday that
while no plan Of action has yet been deter
mined upon, the same courtesies will be ex-
tended TO Vice President Morton as were
shown to President Cleveland on the occa-
sion Of his visit to Savannah in 1888. Wher-
ever the southern visit of the Vice President
was mentioned yesterday in this city there
was coupled with it the desire that he will
stop over in Savannah, and a hearty well
come will be extended him by people of all
parties.
The city council Of Charleston at its
meeting night before last appointed a COM
mittee of three, as announced in the MORN
ING NEWS yesterday, with the mayor as
chairman, to extend the vice president an
invitation to visit the city, and it is under
stood that Mr.. Morton proposes to stop
over in Charleston and spend few hours
there.

The Best Obtainahle.

Ferris hams and b,oneless bacon are every-
where regardad'as the best. Savannah is
no exception to the rule, and the sale of
Ferris goods in this market is very large.
The purchaser wanting good thing has no
hesitation in buying Ferris, knowing that
in SO doing the best only is obtained. The
following leading grocers from different
sections of the country speak thus of Ferris
goods.
From Johnston Brothers, Brooklyn, In
their New Year list:
"Our stock is never complete, nor does
our display look satisfactory unless the Gel
ebrated +. A Ferris e. Company ham and
homeless bacon be in the foreground, for il
there is any one article more than another
that we sell, that we can recommend, conf
dent that it will more than give satisfac-
tion to the customer, that article bears the
name OF f. A. Ferris 81 Company. True,
they cost trife more, but all good goods
cost more in production, yet are always
cheaper in the end.
From j. A. Renshaw Sc Co., Pittsburg Pa (.
You may quote us as saying that +. A.
Ferris 81 Companys bacon meets our ap-
proval and gives better satisfaction to our
family trade than any we have over sold -
From Fraser, Viger g. Co., Montreal:
1--WE have had to C me back to our old
love and propose keeping your bans regu-
larly in stock in future"
From J. j. Wood, Columbus. Ga:
They are low enough for any one to
handle, besides tho quality is SUPERIOR To
any meats know. I have handled and
sold a good deal Of NEST before and since
the war, but have ne yer come across any
that would compare with YOURS. to NV
taste" Undoubtedly their productions are
the finest in the world
