Out of the River.
The food in the river Is receding every
day. Yesterdays heavy westerly wind,
which prevailed all day. drove the water
along very fast. In Back river there has
been noticeable fall in the waters, and
several places which were covered few
days ago have been drained in the past few
hours.
The steamer Ethel, from Cohen's Bluff,
arrived night before last. Capt. Carroll
says that the river is falling rapidly, and
there has been no damage to speak OF, ex-
cept the washout at the Charleston and
Savannah railroad bridge. which was
the. result of the continuous rains adding to
the heavy volume of water coming
down the river from above Augusta.
The landings on the Georgia side OF the
river have fbeen under water, which has
caused the boats to come down with very
light freights. At Purysburg considerable
wood at the landing was washed into the
swamps, but it can be readily recovered.

More Local Pride Should be Shown

SAVANNAH. March 21.-Editor Morning
Ne,Os::- It is very gratifying to the citIzeus Of
our city to welcome the receipt of over ,000,-
600 bales Of cotton, the large return Of naval
stores, ETC., which are to some extent a mat
ter of pride to all, but there are other inter-
ests which would be Of great benefit to our
city if they we're shown to people abroad,
who are always hooking for Investment
of putting their money where il
will bring the best return. The
many enterprises which attract public at
tention need to be brought before that class
OF people, and particularly our manufaot-
uring industries, no matter how small or
large they may be, are great iter in our
statistics. With all these facts before US
it is matter Of wonder that so much
indifference is shown by those
who are approached to give the necessary
information by one who is authorized to
collect this data for the census bureau. to
be incorporated IN its reports. He is met
with all sorts of excuses, such as the want
OF time, the amount it may cost to furnish
it, or. In fact, any reason but the right one.
Many OF the largest owners of enterprises
here, who aid materially in the forwarding
Of public sentiment. and In pushing to COM
pletion various interests, who employ a
large amount of labor, are the sloweSt in
making reports.
This is not right, as the fuller the return
the better appearance they make in the
census. II Charleston or some other city in
this part of the country makes better or
fuller reports, who will be to blame!
The time for making these returns is
drawing to a close, and it is hoped that
those who have been dilatory heretofore
will make every effort to fill up the blanks
already left them, and thus make a showing
which Savannah will not be ashamed OF.
Respectfully. M. T. QUINAN.

POETRY OF TEE RIBLB.

The Second Sermon of DR.. vass at the
First Presbyterian Church.
The second of the course of lectures on
Hebrew poetry was delivered by Rev. L.
G. Vass, DID, in the First Presbyterian
church last night. The subject was 1.-THE
Spirit of Hebrew Poetry"
Eusebius, the early historian, says that
when christianity arose 'it streamed over
the face of tie earth like a sunbeam Prof.
Murray Of Johns Hopkins University
said: Hebrew literature is one of the most
cultured and refined in the world. =
No other literature, save the Greek, IL COM
parable to it." The can't of literature, and
and vanity Of scholarship sometimes affect
TO ignore these claims.
II the 23d psalm or the "war song" of
Deborah we're dug from the ashes of
Pompeii or mounds OF Egypt. they would
excite the literary world.
The jews we're singing people; yet had
no music meter or harmony, as we under
stand them. Their singing was q chanting
like that OF the Marinari of Naples. the
Fallahin of Syria, OF the Bedouin Of the
desert. But Jewish minnesingers and
troubadours charmed their hamlets, feasts
and palaces. Bards were legislators: aud.
Moses, like Orpheus, sang religion and
civilization on his Tyre
SPIRIT OF HEBREW POETRY.
Chief of the leading characteristics Of
Hebrew poetry was its originality. No
models shaped it. Moses wrote 100
years before Herodotus; Job was written
500 years before Homer sang. and the
golden age of Hebrew lyric poetry was / 900
years before Horace was born. They drank
from the fresh fountains of nature, and the
morning experiences of the human soul.
Children nf -
by divine inspiration. So there is
an orig nal personality in both the
words and subject matter of their poetry,
They swing open heavens gates, and
drenched in Elysian dews of life. drinking
in balmy smells of nard and cassia, suffused
with divine lignt--they reveal undreamt-
of glories, and lead sorrowing humanity up
a starry path OF revealed perfection. All
their ornaments shine with no borrowed
rays, but with hues of heaven, and their
rhythm is the ecstacy Of Beulah land. Bible
poetry is an original apocalypse of celestial
beauty. Here are the solemnities of Sinai
the visions of Pisgah, the beatitudes OF
Tabor and the undyiug love of Calvary.
ITS PURITY.
Another striking characteristic is its
purity. Much ancient poetry is too foul &c
be read. Here religion and song, piety
and poetry are forever married. Every
Where the olvlne presence dwells IN holy
beauty, and a reverent spirit fills human
breasts. Never do we find sulky fiends, such
as Byron, glorIfe1, nor SUCH irreverent
scenes as IN Gcethe's Faust. Songfui souls

tial intercourse with a fathers love- This
