TIE TFLFA1R ACADEMY.
Two Things There Which Attract
Special Attention

GPCCAz4 2JJ5LSlOu.
Editor Norniag NslUs: A visit lately to
the Telfair academy and 10 Mr.. Director
Brandt afforded the writer much pleasure
and instruction. The entirety Of the acad-
emy-the building, the paintings, the en-
cravings and the statues-conStitute one of
the most interesting end instructive sights
of the kind in the United States, with see
ing aud studying by all artists and lovers
of art.
But two things with which the writer
was, be may say, profoundly impressed, he
feels constrained to notice aud TO wish to
be noticed, viz: the academy building itself
and the immense plaster cast OF the famous
sculptured group called the Farnese Bull.
Architecturally tine academy is a very
handsome structure; the old, the mansion
part, and the new, harmonizing beautifully /;
and the new is as well adapted 10 its pur-
pose as it would ssem it could be, and not
only so adapted, but is all, yes, all, in
most excellent good taste, and substantial
and solid.
1t is surprising, it IS amazing, that with
the means at his command Mr.. Brandt
could have done so much and done it so
well. But independent Of the fine and
fitting material work, there is genius of
the place, a fine artistic conception which
has fairly blossomed in and is fragrant
with art
The great chef d9uUre of antique art,
the "Farnese Bull" the original of which
in marble is in the great museum at Naples,
where 1t was cast, and whence, packed in
sections in boxes, it was shipped to New
York, and thence to its destination here at
Savannah, was found, on the opening of
the boxes, to be much shattered; several of
the more than 100 sections were found to be
broken in many-in all, great and small,
100, more or less, pieces. A huge, dlsheart-
ening wreck and ruin, as itseemed, who could
think restoration of it possibles Surelynone
but one supremacy devoted to and a lover of
art, with an artists hand. Mr.. Brandt was
equal to the work. He assorted the broken
pieces, marked and studied them and the
cavities of the sections, contrived an
apparatus for lifting and lowering the larger
and heavier, and with Infinite pains sue
ceeded in putting every piece in place, and
lol restored and perfect casting of the
wonderful group, the "Farnese Bull

WANT TO GoBBLE CAMDEN.
Three Western Men Claim 10000
Acres in That County.

From the Macon Telegraph.
BRUNSWICK, Jan. 13.-Camdem county's
surveyor, B. A. Broome, is in Brunswick on
mission of no little importance.
Mr.. Broome is here to meet three gentle
men from the west, who are laying claim
to not less than 175,000 acres of land in
Camden and Charlton counties, and who
will attempt to induce Mr.. Broome to make
survey of the property.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Broome
said:
81 came to Brunswick this morning to
meet three western gentlemen, j. c. Pike
of Iowa, o. ID. Peck of Wisconsin, and a
representative of the Missouri Valley Land
Company. These gentlemen have in their
possession the claims on three or four
enormous tracts of land in Camden and
Charlton. The property is in such state
that the claimants may never realize any
thing from it.
1.-THE first residents of Camden county
and refer to old Camden, as consisting of
its present area together with that of Charl-
ton and Wayne, and part of Glynn-were
the Middletons, Bryants, Weeds, Sea-
groves and Jacksons. Some OF these fami-
lies held property under grants issued by
George III. of England, while others held
property under grants issued by the state
of Georgia.
''These families owned the whole of the
county, and it was impossible for any one
to become an owner of property in the
county save by purchasing from the owners,
who seemed to realize that fact and placed
such fictitious value on the land as to ex-
clude purchasers. Together with this, the
owners failed to pay any taxes either to
the county or state. 1t really seemed that
the vast area included in Camden county
was destined to be comparatively unin-
habited.
Taking all these things into considera-
ton, Nathan Atkinson introduced bill in
the legislature providing that a tenant could
lawfully retain piece of property when he
had lived on the same for term of seven
years in undisputed possession. That bill
finally became law, and no sooner was
the governors signature affixed than the
people began pouring into Camden and
took possession of as much property as the
law would allow.
"About this time the Nlddletons, Bryants
and Jacksons disposed Of their claim to the
property to these parties in the west. The
then owners paid no attention to the Geor-
gia law, and pretty soon number of peo-
pie owned property in Camden by virtue of
| the seven years. undisputed possession.
When that fact became known man named
Primrose was sent down there from Phila-
delphia to make complete survey OF the
claimed lands. III
"He didn't stay there long, however. The
citizens didn't care to have their rights
trampled on, and four men were accord
ingly detailed to escort Mr.. Primrose out Of
the county, dead or alive. Those four men
started out on their errand, but they did
not find Mr.. Primrose-he had gotten scent
of what was awaiting him and had made
his exit. Now the claimants want to get
hold of that property and set up two or
three tremendous mills, and they want me
to show them the property
