THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

There has been a big change in the
Savannah harbor in the last hundred years.
In 1773 there was but single channel
across the bar. with at least mean-low-
water depth Of from 8 to 80 fathoms. In
1855 this channel, while maintaining its
depth. had, under the influence OF the north
east storms. shifted to the southwark
little more than one and a fourth miles, and
new channel has formed to the nor sh-
ward, having a meau-low water depth of
from IS to II feet. At present, Capt.
Carter says, the main channel is about
one>quarter Of mile farther
south than 10 1855. while the north channel
has practically the same position as at that
time. The depth in the main channel has
not sensibly changed in a century, while
the north channel has deepened more than
four feet during the last thirty-four years,
or to such degree as TO make il available
for vessels of the draught of the steamships
OF the regular lines plying 60 and from this
port, and at the same time enabling them
TO save four or five miles on each trip
In this channel. Capt. Carter says, there is
at present depth of between 16 and
II feet at mean low water. 1t is
buoyed, and is used during the day by
many OF the coastwise vessels frequenting
this port, but owing to the absence of range
lights their captains are, during the night,
precluded from availing themselves of this
saving in distance. This absence Of range
lights can be easily ana quickly remedied.
There is an excellent opportunity to place
beacon on the point of Tybee Island. This
and the present Cockspur light would be all
that are necessary to make the channel
| available at night as we'll as during the day.
The captains OF the various steamships of
the Ocean Steamship Companys lines do
not make use OF this channel, not because
it is not deep enough, but simply for the
| reason that they have never received in
| structions TO use it, and in the absence Of
| such instructions they continue to use the
| more southern channel Were they on
their own responsibility to use the shorter
and more northern channel, which is per,
fectly safe and straight, and meet with acci-
dent while passing through it. they would
be responsible for any damage to their
| vessels.

The Gordon monument, in court house
square, is sadly in need OF cleansing. The
base and columns are turning black fer
want of washing, and the shaft is losing
much of its beauty in consequence. The
city owes it 60 the citizens to see that the
monument Is kept in presentable condition,
and an investment in a small amount of
cleansing fluid would do the lob.

been nude thousand times, and it al

The humorous side of the question is
presented when Russia answers such
accusations. Her reply is like that of
the old darby, who, when he was ac-
cused Of stealing chickens, Indignantly
denied the charge, but added, aside: 'If

Those who rave with unceasing bit

who declare the habit to he ill-bred and
FAST, have no idea of the women they
are condcmning, says a Philadelphia
Telcgraph's London letter. People with
such old-fashioncd prejudices have
usually old-fashioned feelings on the
subject OF the reverence due to crowned
heads, and would pause before uttering
their scathing condcmnations were they
aware that the 'pcrnicious and disgust
Ing habit" was one in which the major
lty OF queens in Europe indulge. The
expresses of Russia and Austria, the
queen of Italy and the queen regent
of Spain, as we'll as their majesties of
Portugal, Roumania and Scrvia and the
countess of Paris, arc all ardent lovers
of tobacco, of which they are also
thoroughly good judges. Perhaps the
most inveterate smoker among the
royal ladies Is the empress of Austria,
who consumes from thirty to forty Gig
arettes day. She keeps her tobacco
In an exquisitcly chased silver box,
which, together with gold ash-tray,
Is always to be seen on her writing
table. Her imperial majesty Of Russia
and Queen Marguerite of Italy only
smoke in the privacy of their own bou-
doris. That of the empress of Russia is
most fascinating apartment, which
makes really ideal smolxing-room.

too long to mention the names of the
well-known feminine votaries of the
weed, and 1t is not even necessary to
repeat that they are some of the high

ton OF our "hlue" women smoke, and
many of them even smoke cigars as
strong as those affected by the sternA-
sex.

The DonneIIy Boom.

New York Continent.
If any New Yorker with a finely de-
veloped sense of hearing should detect
the faint echo of distant sound rolling
from the far Northwest, let him know
that it is not thunder. 1t is the great
Donnelly presidential boom.
In Minnesota, the state of the cryptic
grammatic genius, lgnatius has given
voice to his boom for 1872. The volume
of its roar is not as yet overpoweringly
great, but such tone as it has is harsh
strident and angry. 1t has already be-
come mixed with the sounds of battle,
for some of his fellow grangers are for
the BaconiaD statesman, and some are
against him.
We trust, however, that the Mime
sofa Farmers Alliance will compose its
differences, and recognize-as it surely
must-that Donnelly is their man in '92.
Donnelly is for free silver, for free
trade, for free loans Q.farmers, for free
railroad transportation-fo all the pet
hobbies of the Alliance. He is also
for Donnelly, as he has right to be. in
this free country, where all great men,
and most little men, have some personal
ambition.
Indeed, we do not know of anv one
more fitted to be the appropriate candi-
date of the Alliance in 1872, with the pos
sible exception of Hon. George Francis
Train, of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Whether the
Eastern roads will succeed in etfecting
an arrangement for division of the
dressed beef, livestock and provision
traffic from Chicago to the seaboard is
still an enigma. Another conference on
this subject was held to-day at the
rooms of the Central Traffic ass ociation
1t was called by the committee Of ship
perS appointed at the former meeting,
and among the prominent packing
houses represented were those of Mel
son Morris, Swift Is Co., Hammond &
Co., Armour & Co.. S. w. AL
lerton. and the North Packing
and Provision company, of Boston.
Letters from other prominent shippers
were received, the majority of which re-
corded the votes of the writer's in favor
of the movement. 1t was decided, how
ever, that it would not be wise for the
Chicago shippers to go into this scheme
without the cooperation of their COM
petlt0rs at other important points, and
it was agreed that if a division of bust
ness were put into effect by the Eastern
roads IL should be made to apply from
other shipping centerS and gateWayS as
we'll as from Chicago. The result OF the
conference was a resolution to send
communications to the shippers of other
important points, asking them to APP
point committees to meet the Chicago
committee at some future date, with a
view to deciding definitely whether
they should cooperate with the rail
roads in sustaining an eaSt-bound blind
pool.

CHICAGO, May 25.-The lines in the
Western Passenger association did not
find smooth sailing when they met to-
day to fix summer tourist rates. The
agreement entered into by the Chicago
& Alton, the Wabash and the Burling-
ton, to the effect that no rates for tour
lists between any points should be less
than so per cent of the standard round
trip rates, was quietly sat down upon by
Chairman Finley, who ruled that the
managers of individual lines had no
right to make Independent agreements
Of that kind. Accordingly, the matter
was submitted to a vote of the entire
association, but could not be settled,
because some of those present were not
authorized to vote on the question. The
Alton made additional trouble by re-
fusing to allow reduced rates to Eastern
points reached by the Lake Shore and
other lines participating Ill the boycott,
thus making tourist rates impossible to
Eastern points, except those reached by
the Grand Trunk direct. The matter
will be further discussed tomorrow.
