Emigration to Liberin.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
In its account of the sailing of the emf

Savannah News says: sit is the first time
such a scene has ever occurred in the
south--a shipload Of negro emigrants leav-
ing the country for Africa" This Is not
true. The first emigrant ship for Africa
from the south was sent out of the port
OF Charleston in April, 1878. 1t was the
bark Azor, and the account of its long
and terrible voyage was fully described by
the special correspondent of the News and
Courier, Mr.. A. B. Williams now the editor
of the Greenville News, who accompanied
the emigrants to their new home in the
land of their fathers. The Savannah News
says that it is believed that the sailing of
the Horsa marks the beginning of a great
exodus of the negroes from the south
but we doubt 1t. The same opinion was
expressed when the Azor sailed from
Charleston seventeen years ago, and the
exodus then threatened has never taken

ALEXANDER AND NERO.
One Was Famous Confederate Col

One Was Famous Confederate Coll
OneI and the other Was His Dog.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
Col. George W. Alexander died in Lau-
rel, Md, last week of paralysis. He was
one of the most conspicuous, notable men
in Richmond during the war. A sketch of
his life will doubtless be interesting to
all. but especially to the comparatively
few of our citizens who were here dur
ing that time and knew him.
He was born at Francesville, Pa, and
was 66 years of age, On Oct. 81, 1S4S, he
was appointed assistant engineer in the
United States navy, and remained until
April 5, 1861, when he resigned. During
that time he was stationed for long time
at the Portsmouth navy yard, and in that
city he married a Virginia, lady. Miss SUI
sic Ashby. who survives him. On the 18th
of June, 1861, he became a lieutenant of
Marylanders, who. with great difficulty,
made their way to Richmond and offered
their services to Gov. -Letcher for the con-
federacy.
Capt. Alexander became a conspicuous
man in Richmond the day he put his foot
In the city. The knowledge which the peo-
pie had of the recent exploit in which he
had taken part had made him so. Every
DCuN mas -nedEQ OF the capture OF tne SI.
Nicholas, which, as it was on it's way
from Washington to Norfolk, laden with
valuable commodities, was entered by
Col. Zarvona Thomas, Capt. Alexander
and a picked set of men, all in disguise
as passengers, some of them in women s
apparel. At a, concerted moment the
party threw off their disguise, captured
the officers and crew and brought the ves-
sci to Fredericksburg, where its contents
were sold, realizing some time afterward
$4,000 in gold. Everybody recollected, too,
that a short time afterward Capt. Alex
ander was captured by the federal forces
in Maryland and incaFeerated in Fort
McHenry, near Baltimore, and how, after
some months suffering in that federal
fort, he made his escape in a manner
(which greatly attracted public attenT
ton and aroused public sympathy. He
happened to have the greatest blessing

of federal uniform, concealed under her
dress. She prevailed upon him to don this
suit and make his escape. Near night the
captain. thus equipped, left his cell, passed

by one of them, who fred at him, he

Plans ON Foot TO Give the Company
Boom on the start.
Atlanta, Ca. March 22.-samples of the
uniform Of the new naval military com
pany located at Brunswick have been re-
ceived and inspected by Lieut.. Satterlee,
the assistant adjutant general, and he
has ordered some corrections in the insig-
mia, which will be made at once and the
uniforms placed in the hands of the com
pany by April 1. The uniforms are very
handsome, being after the regulation ma
val militia patterns. As soon as the uni
forms are received, the governor will re-
port the organization of the company of
which Capt. Akin is commander, to the
war department at Washington. On April
Is the war department will apportion the
25000 set aside for the naval militia
Georgia's share this year being about
$3.50. This will be used to provide the
Brunswick company with arms When
these arms are received Lieut.. Satterlee
has scheme to give the naval militia
a good send-off, which will be put into
operation. His plan is to get the man-of-
war Atlanta, ordered to Brunswick har-
Dor for visit during the summer. The
Atlanta's visit will be made a great gala
occasion, and when she is ready to put
out again the new naval militia will be
taken for a ten days training cruise
aboard OF her. At the time of reporting
the formation of the company to the war
department, Gov. Atkinson will also make
requisition for one of the United States
monitors to be sent permanently to
Brunswick for the benefit of the militia
company as a training ship and armory.
These ships are stationed at other places
and there is no doubt that the governors
requisition will be promptly complied with.

RICH IN EXPERIENCES.
LOttie Collins Runs Up Against a
New One Out West

Lottie Collins, the heroine of Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-aye, is great on experiences.
She had a lively experience while on her
recent southern tour, beginning at Macon,
continued in Savannah and concluded
in Macon. in which a sheriff, a chief of
police and half a dozen or so detectives.
besides Miss Collins and her entire COM
pany, including her husband, figured. The
Washington Post tells more recent ex-
perience which she encountered in a west
ern town. and in which, as usual, she
came out best.
1t was two-night stand, and after the
performance she went to her room in the
hotel and ordered a lunch to be brought
up for herself and one or two of the female
members of the company. The waiter
who responded to the call bell was white
man. He was in his shirt sleeves and
wore a white apron. A solitaire diamond
CLEANED in a white satin cravat, and his
hair was scrupulously parted in the CEN
ter. The ladies concluded, without think
ing much about it, that the young man
was one of the barkeepers of the hotel.
and chatted pleasantly until he returned
They had ordered a very light repast.
with just bottle of beer to top itoff: but
surprised to find themselves served with
a sumptuous supper and three bottles of
champagne.
Miss Collins was surprised. So were the
others. The waiter began to stutter. grow
red and confused, still standing at the door
with the heavy tray in his hands The
more the ladies pried into the business
the redder the young man grew, and he
was probably glad when the heroine of
a-ra-boom-de-ay'' opened the door
and allowed him to disappear, with only
kick of a verbal nature.
There was an inquiry into the affair on
the part of the management of the COM
pany, and 1t was found that the voung
man was the son of a rich iobber of the
town, and society swell. He had bribed
some one about the hotel to allow him
10 lmpersonate the waiter serving the
actress at her room, and had taken the
course to obtain access to her privacy.
An irate manager presented himself the
next morning at the office of the jobber
and the youth made another call at the
actress room that night. He was con-
veyed by his father, however, who made
him get on his knees and offer a verv
AFFECT apology for his misconduct.

Covington, KY, Cor. Courier-Journal.
Second Engineer William De Hart of
the fated steamer Longfellow lives with
his wife and children at l6 West Eighth
street and was among the saved. His
wife dreamed Wednesday night that the
boat was lost with all on board, and it
preyed so on her mind all day Thursday
that she tried to persuade her husband not
to make the trip. After bidding him good
by on the boat she told the chief engi-
neer, Dan HALEY, of her dream, and with
tears in her eyes begged that he endeavor
to influence her husband to remain at
home, as she knew the boat would be lost.
On learning of the accident she ran al
most all the way to Bromley in her en-
deavor to keep pace with the floating
wreck, and was almost wild with grief
before the news of her husbands rescue
reached her, and she then refused to be
convinced until he was brought to her.

A CRAZY MAN'S IN0UIRI Es.

He Appears Before the Levy Court to
Learn the Exact Amount of His City
Assessment.
The Levy Court Commissioners who are
devoting their attention just now to an
investigation of the county assessment,
had an unusual diversion from the ordi-
nary course of business yesterday in
the sudden appearance of Il crazy man
who was anxious to learn the exact
amount of his assessment.
The unfortunate man is named Twadell,
and at one time. according to County
Treasurer John 7. Dickey, owned some
house property on Ninth street. He was
not very we'll dressed but acted in the
most orderly manner. He strobe into the
cham Der, waited deliberately until he had
caught the eye of Com missioner Gallagher,
what is the assessment on my houses
this year, Mr.. Commissioner" he asked.
80 0OO,n was the quick response, which
Mr. Gallagher gave without smile.
Twadell made q profound obeisance, indi-
eating his entire satisfaction, and then
strobe out of the apartment.
1t seems he is almost daily caller at
Mr.. Dickey's office. There he is given
comforting assurance of the safety OF his
property and then he goes away satisfied.
Commissioners continued their inyesti-
cation of the assessment this morning.
Commissioner Armstrong is handling the
Christiana returns, Mr.. Gallagher the
Second ward OF this city, and MIR. Mealey
the First district.
No other business was transacted this
morning
