KEENAN, ON SIBERIA.
The Famous Russian Traveller In sa-
Nannnh Next Week.


Savannah has enjoyed several intellec-
tual treats this season, none of which,
however, will have proven more attractive
than the lecture next Friday night by
George KEENAN,. the world-renowned ST.
berian traveller
Mr.. Remnants success in the lecture
field has been phenomenal. Those who
have read his articles in the Century Mag
azne on the Russian political exiles. the
convicts in the Siberian mines, and like
subjects cannot but be anxious to hear
him lecture.
His descriptions are said to be the most
finished word painting heard from the
lecture platform, enlisting the sympa-
thes of his audience in the sufferngs
and wrongs Of the unfortunate subjects
Of his lecture.
In one of his lectures Mr.. KEENAN, dons
the garb and chains of the Siberian con-
Wet and in another he appears in the
costunas Of a Caucasian mountaineer.
These. with his realistic descriptions,
keep the audience in attention, and regret
is expressed that the lecture is not longer.
The people of Savannah ought to give
Mr.. KEENAN, an enthusiastic greeting. As
a writer and a lecturer he merits the best
audience this city can gather.
His lectures are literary treats, and will
be enjoyed by all classes. They are es-
pecially instructive to the young.

Cincinnati, O., March s.-The handsome
Cincinnati and New Orleans packet Long
fellow went to the bottom of the Ohio
river at 7 o'clock this morning. Six or
more persons went down with her. She
sank in thirty feet of water opposite the
Marmet coal landing at the foot of Smith
street. She struck the channel span of
the Chesapeake bridge and sank within
three minutes. According to the best in
formation only eight persons were lost,
but there were over 100 people on board
the boat when she struck.
The pilot in charge says the fog was so
derse when she struck that he was unable
to discern the pier through the mist, and
was not aware of its proximity.
The steamer literally crumbled to pieces
Immediately following the collision, and
the bow of the boat sunk. while the cabin
and stern floated away.
The real cause of the accident it was
said, was that the boat. like the Inflated
State of Mississippi, was so unwieldy that
she became unmanageable, and the pilots
were powerless to control her.
The boat was to have left here for New
Orleans last night. but was prevented
from doing so on account of the dense
fog River men say the fog was even
greater this morning, and the boat should
never have left. 1t was decided, however,
4 by the owner of the White Collar line,
Which company owns it, to send the boat
out and tow the boat. The Hercules Car
rel was sent out to- aid her in passing be
low the bridges. The Carrel was secured
to the stem of the Longfellow and both
hoats passed down the river to a point
about fifty yards above the Chesapeake
and Ohio bridge. where the Longfellow
became entirely unmanageable.
Watchers on shore say the boats bow
was pointed directly for the Kentucky
SAore, and when about fifty yards distant

Athens, Ca, March s.--A few days since

poor house, at which place a few months
since she married this old man. A relative
died and as they thought left the old lady
a small farm. In great glee they started
over an adjoining county to see their
farm, and visions Of rapture danced be-
fore them. They found that 81 was all a
mistake and had started back to the poor
house when seen by this gentleman. And
do you know" said he, that the old
lady is a granddaughter Of stateman
who years ago represented Georgia dis
trict In the national congress"
The dead body of a young man was
found on the Georgia, Central and North
ern tracks at Lawrenceville last night He
couldn't be identified beyond the pres
ence on his person of fragment Of a letter
hearing the name Lamar"

Ingersoii Against II

A press dispatch from New
York, dated Saturday, says;
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, lectur-
ed at Little Falls, N. Y, last night
on ."Lincoln." To a reporter
who asked him his opinion of the
Gerry whipping post bill, he re-
piled: 81 see that it has passed
the Senate, and yet / think it a
disgrace to the State. How the
Senators can 60 back to torture,
to the Dark Ages, to the custom Of
savagery, is beyond belief. / hope
the House is nearer civilized, and
that the infamous bill will be de-
feated. If, however, the bill
should pass, then I hope Gov.
Morton will have the decency TO
veto it.

more degrading, than the whip

do the flogging ? Men who would
apply the lash to the naked back
of criminals would have to be as
low as the criminals, and prob.
ably little lower.
"The shadow of the whipping
post does not fall on any civilized
country, and never will. The
next thing We know Mr.. Gerry
will introduce a bill to brand
criminals on the forehead or cut
off their ears and slit their noses
This is in the same line, and is
born of the same hellish spirit.
There is no reforming power in
torture, in bruising and mangling
the flesh.
"If the bill becomes a law,
hope it will provide that the lash
shall be applied by Mr.. Gerry
and his successors in Office. Lei

enjoy themselves. If the bill
passes, ] presume Mr. Gerry could
get a supply Of knouts from Rus

abolished the whipping post"
The Is all blather, and coming
from Mr.. Ingersoll doesn't help
it any. The unspeakable brute
who beats his wife or his little
children ought to be dashed at
the post rather than fed at pub
lie expense for a season and
then turned loose to repeat his
inhuman performance. And the
